In 2019, Andrés launched the Argentina ERG Chapter for LGBT+ people. As a result, MSD Argentina joined Pride Connection Argentina network, built gender neutral bathrooms and launched three internal campaigns on LGBT+ topics. Also, MSD allied and volunteered with ‘Ciervos Pampas’, the first LGBT+ rugby club in Argentina. From 2021, as the Europe Regional lead, Andrés supported the expansion of new and upcoming ERG chapters across Europe in Italy, France, Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania and Bulgaria, and actively supports existing chapters in Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, Germany and Czech Republic. This resulted in an increased regional footprint and allowed MSD to have a more inclusive workplace globally. As a D&I champion, he also led both the D&I framework for new MSD office in Zurich and a D&I Initiative across Global Data Operations in four global locations focusing on training, awareness and visibility, and internal process.
