Patricia Astorga, Chief Legal Officer and Partner, is responsible for advancing the company's strategic objectives while ensuring institutional integrity and robust corporate governance. As a trusted strategic partner to the co-CEOs and Board of Directors, Patricia translates complex legal landscapes and market-facing challenges into actionable business strategies that protect shareholder value and enable assertive, yet sensible and secure, business growth.

Her strategic approach aligns legal risk assessment with commercial objectives, providing the executive team and board with clear visibility into how regulatory risks and opportunities impact market positioning and long-term enterprise value. Patricia's counsel has been instrumental during complex transactions, commercial disputes, international expansion initiatives, and mission-critical conflict resolution.

Patricia leads the company's global Legal, Compliance, and Enterprise Risk Management architecture with direct oversight of governance frameworks, fiduciary responsibilities, and ethical scalability during periods of market expansion. Under her leadership, the organization has fortified its enterprise risk management framework, streamlined compliance operations, and successfully navigated complex regulatory challenges.

Patricia's unique blend of prosecutorial rigor and corporate defense experience distinguishes her strategic perspective. As a former federal prosecutor, she led high-profile investigations and trials that now inform her approach to managing sensitive internal investigations and regulatory engagements. Her tenure at major international law firms provided deep expertise in representing corporate clients across complex multi-jurisdictional matters in financial services, private equity, banking, insurance, manufacturing, transportation, and media sectors.

This cross-industry expertise, combined with her sophisticated understanding of governance, business strategy, and enterprise risk, positions Patricia as an effective strategic partner in board deliberations, stakeholder communications, and executive decision-making that shapes the company's trajectory and competitive advantage.
