About

Serving as general counsel at Embraer, an international frontrunner in the aerospace sector, the talented and adaptable Terena Rodrigues has accumulated a wealth of experience over 12 years in many different roles within the legal department at the company. Previous stints in procurement, IT, and sales have helped shape the versatile professional that leads the legal department today. Shortly after joining Embraer, Rodrigues successfully gaining approval for an international treaty (Cape Town Treaty) on aircraft assets. Succeeding this feat was a shareholders meeting in April, where Rodrigues’ status was once again elevated to that of executive vice president, a role which sees her lead a team of 40. Rodrigues, who is an active member of the company management board, has been proactive in formulating company strategy. This consists of new aircraft programs, E2 (the next generation of commercial aircraft), defence aircraft, the inception of programs through continual development, production and sales. She believes that ‘being a global company makes this role even more interesting; unfolding strategies and policies not only for Brazil but for the world’. Embraer being headquarter in Brazil means Rodrigues’ work goes to ‘all operations across globe, working not only on everyday business but having to set the leads in terms of the company strategy policy, procedures and making sure that unfolds to the subsidiaries in the rest of the world’, showing her flexibility. A graduate of the University of São Paulo and Georgetown University Law Center, Rodrigues previously worked in private practice in the US and Brazil, moving in-house to join Embraer in 2004 before being promoted to her current role in 2012.
