About

OLX is a global online marketplace that operates 17 brands in more than 40 countries, employing around 5,000 people worldwide. Found in 2006, OLX is the largest online classified advertisements company in Brazil, India, Bulgaria, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Portugal and Ukraine. Santiago L. Gini joined OLX in January 2014 and is now serving as its senior regional legal and compliance manager, overseeing both legal and compliance aspects of the company on a regional basis. Gini newly took the responsibility of managing compliance last year, and has successfully changed employees’ perception of compliance by conducting trainings and using ethical hacking. ‘Currently employees are eager to participate in more activities which is a win-win situation for everyone’, he says. Gini also led the GDPR implementation in the region and views it as ‘an amazing challenge that forced me to understand company employees’ daily work in depth, which was incredibly valuable. I believe now our legal compliance team can provide better services with more solutions to the product, infrastructure and technology teams’. In addition, Gini took the role of OLX SA president last year. ‘The designation implies a recognition, not only of a “legal or business partner”, but also of commitment and integrity when giving the extra mile’, he explains. Gini revolutionised the legal department by implementing various measures to improve the team’s efficiency. The legal department has implemented software for different purposes including compliance training and GDPR privacy assessments. ‘In general, with these tools we speed up and facilitate the request and delivery’, Gini comments. The team has also engaged with business executives from other departments to discuss their future plans and legal needs, which helps legal team work in advance and avoid unnecessary delays. Apart from his in-house role at OLX, Gini is also a professor teaching contract law and internet and telecommunications law at the University of San Andrés.
