What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my legal expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on compliance and corporate governance while fostering sustainable practices.

I am a seasoned legal professional with extensive experience in corporate affairs, compliance, and regulatory matters across Latin America. As the Legal and Corporate Affairs Director for International Justice Mission, I have successfully established the organization's internal legal department for the region and led the opening of new offices while ensuring compliance with local laws. My strategic approach to stakeholder engagement and digitalization has significantly enhanced operational efficiency.

Previously, as the Legal, Compliance, and Corporate Affairs Manager at Adidas Group, I was responsible for overseeing legal and sustainability issues across multiple countries. My leadership in corporate restructuring and compliance projects has yielded impressive results, including substantial tax savings and successful M&A transactions exceeding $100 million. I thrive in high-performance environments and am dedicated to driving positive outcomes for multinational corporations.
