About

In 2012, Maytê Ximenes joined Groupon Brasil with the task to ‘manage people and help to develop the business’ for the global e-commerce platform that specialises in offering discounts on goods and services, with operations in over 50 cities across Brazil. Since the appointment of Ximenes as legal director, the in-house function has been subject to various structural reformations and new processes, which have improved standards and automated work. Part of the benefit of this has been a 60% decrease in overall costs of the legal department in the last three years. Ximenes’ is also responsible for application of the global ethics compliance program in the region, in addition to the creation of various local compliance programs (covering things such as labour and consumer). Ximenes has impressed peers and clients with her ability to lead a number of strategic projects at such high standards. Previously Ximenes served as a partner for Montenegro Duarte Advogados and as legal counsel at American Beverage Company (AmBev). ‘
