Anfavea creates tax and foreign trade department

The National Association of Automotive Vehicle Manufacturers (Anfavea) announced the creation of the Tax and Foreign Trade Directorate, which will be led by Andrea Serra (pictured), a tax lawyer with over 25 years of experience in the private sector, including 15 years at General Motors do Brasil.

With a degree in Law from PUC Campinas and a postgraduate degree from FAAP, Andrea is the first woman to take on a management position in the history of the entity, which is celebrating its 69th anniversary.

According to the president of Anfavea, Igor Calvet, the creation of the new board meets a demand from associated companies for greater attention to tax and customs issues in light of the challenges of the current scenario.

For Andrea, the new position represents an important challenge in strategic areas for the automotive sector, including the light and heavy vehicle segments and agricultural and road machinery.
