About

Gloria Rodriguez was hired by Walmart in 2008 to support its emerging legal department in Guatemala. In her current role at the global retail company, Rodriguez performs legal affairs management for all the subsidiaries that Walmart operates in Guatemala. Under Rodriguez’s wing, the legal team at Walmart moved from being simply a group of attorneys that execute requests for some legal support to the business units, to being a strategic partner of the whole business with clear goals, key performance indicators, operative standards, procedures and guidelines. In addition, Rodriguez has created and implemented tools to automatise some documents that can be easily used by business units without support and has created and implemented a strategy to deal with requirements that may slow down the implementation of certain projects. Rodriguez has created and implemented a bid system to access notary services of the best quality and lowest cost in the country, saving the company money and making sure that they are receiving the best service at the same time. Rodriguez has recently contributed to bridging the gap between the legal team and the commercial side of Walmart in Guatemala, by organising a series of round tables with strategic business partners to train them in a comprehensive way about legal issues on the activities that they perform in their day-to-day operations. Currently, Rodriguez is in the process of introducing a change in the way the company is represented by senior executives to allow for a reduction and minimisation of both company and personal liability risk due to Guatemala’s legal environment. Prior to joining Walmart, Rodriguez was at the leading Guatemalan law firm Carrillo & Asociados, where she provided advice predominantly to the retail sector.
