Playing career
Company did not have a great track record during his playing days. He did manage to play for notable teams such as Chiclayo based club Juan Aurich and José Gálvez FBC of Chimbote around the 1970s.
Then in 1987 Company had his first experience in charge of a big Peruvian club, Sporting Cristal. Lasting only one year and a half, he was in charge of the Celestes for the 1987 Torneo Descentralizado which extended into early 1980 and left before the start of the 1988 Torneo Descentralizado. He did however manage to win his first trophy with Sporting Cristal in the 1988 Marlboro Cup tournament.
Company then went on to have a short spell with Alianza Lima in the 1989 Torneo Descentralizado. He helped the club to a strong start to the season but then later struggled in the second half. Then he was in charge of Sport Boys for 1990 Torneo Descentralizado and led the club to a Copa Libertadores groupstage place by winning the Liguilla Final. He left right after and came back for the 1991 season only to leave again a few months later.
Company then managed the Peru national team in two Copa America tournaments (1991 and 1995). In both editions of the Copa America, he could not lead Peru out of the first group stage. During the 1991 edition he had physical altercations with a journalist and later with his player, Andrés Gonzales, who refused to play against Paraguay. Gonzales was later banned from playing for Peru for two years.
