About

As an individual who prides herself on ‘making a difference in people’s lives’ through her work, Priscila Cruz is currently in charge of RB’s (formerly known as Reckitt Benckiser) legal, compliance, corporate affairs and corporate security for Latin America. Her diverse skill set has been widely acclaimed by peers and clients and this is reflected in her various responsibilities. At the age of just 28 Cruz became head of legal at RB, a multinational consumer goods company, an experience which she describes as a ‘great opportunity rather than a challenge’. Cruz currently heads a team of 22, which consists of 12 lawyers, four interns and six employees who specialise in corporate affairs and corporate security. Cruz has overseen the transformation of the legal department during her time at RB; her stewardship has seen stark improvements in relation to legal matters, management and leadership background. Additionally, Cruz has also played a key role in major acquisitions for the company, the most notable being the first Danone water business in Brazil, and, recently, the acquisition of condoms and lubricants company Hypermarcas.
