Bio
Sandy Sommer
I worked as a colleague of Ugo’s for three years while he was Country President in Mexico, and I was Country President for AstraZeneca in Colombia. I found Ugo to be a collaborative leader who always wanted to the best for his employees. While he is excellent in managing a P&L, he is equally resourceful in finding creative ways to drive the top line to deliver results. As Ugo’s successor in Colombia, I heard firsthand from his former employees how much they appreciated his leadership style. I would not hesitate to recommend Ugo.

I worked with Ugo when he was the Marketing Company President of Colombia and I was the RVP of AstraZeneca Latin America. Ugo was a superb leader of our Colombian organisation. He is a strong business manager but is also a great leader and motivator of people. He cares about his organisation, develops his team and is a strong team player, supporting group-wide initiatives and looking to apply them locally. He was an impactful leader and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
