In Maria’s words, it has been wonderful to be involved in the company´s expansion projects within the food industry, over the years. She has ushered the business into a significant transformation from manual processing to the successful incorporation of legal technology for tasks. In her tenure, she has also witnessed 20% growth in signed contracts over a one-year period. In her opinion, an important asset for any business is a legal department, most especially in hers, as her view is a legal department embodies a center for continuous learning and professionalism. She continues to lead an excellent culture of compliance and demonstrates value creation for the organisation.
