Gabriel Chaverri Guevara
Senior Sales Executive at Expeditors
Gabriel Chaverri is one of the most recognized figures in the market, having consolidated his professional career in the medical devices industry in Costa Rica since 1998, when medical device manufacturing companies began to arrive and invest in our country under the Free Zone regime. He was the first employee hired by Expeditors International, who, alongside Mar y Tierra, had a great vision of what these foreign direct investments in the medical industry would bring to the country. They were able to support these companies from the project’s conception and first intention to invest in Costa Rica, their machinery and equipment transfers, and until the stabilization of their operations, which required resource optimization programs, supply chain solutions, and analysis for subsequent investment phases that continue to bring more benefits and growth opportunities for the medical cluster. Chaverri is a subject matter expert with advanced knowledge in everything related to customs regulations, FDA, Free trade agreements, and any other special procedure required during any startup project.
