Mr. Tamayo has established a distinguished career marked by leadership, expertise, and a commitment to advancing corporate governance and legal excellence across international markets. As a board member of Addiuva Enterprises, he oversees a holding company with affiliates throughout Latin America, Spain, and Egypt.

Over the past two decades, he has advanced from that role to Chief Legal Counsel and later to his current position as a board member of the holding company.
