“I have known Gonzalo Smith professionally since he was General Counsel for Walmart Chile, for which company I have been and continue to be outside counsel, and later as General Counsel for Walmart Latin America. He is a truly exceptional lawyer. I have seldom met someone as brilliant and with such high executive ability. He is decisive, able to work in teams and able to deal with crises head on, thoroughly considering many aspects of a problem to find the best solution. And he does this while maintaining the highest ethical standards, great humility and a respectful treatment of others. In addition, Gonzalo is very dedicated, with great capacity to work, and his professionalism is evident on big issues as well as in details. In conclusion, he is an outstanding human being, one of those you rarely meet, both as a person and as a professional.”
