Operating in challenging environments
Ton van den Bosch heads the legal team for Manila-headquartered cargo container terminals owner ICTSI. He gives GC his thoughts on successfully managing a global team present across often volatile, frontier markets.
When I joined ICTSI two and a half years ago as their first GC, we recruited additional in-house counsel around the globe. One of the biggest challenges remains the different time zones. When we open for business in Manila on a Tuesday morning, our colleagues in Latin America are getting ready for dinner on their Monday evening, but with planning, continuous communication and frequent meetings, this can be managed.
