Ana María Emilfork

General Counsel | Maersk Chile

About

For Maersk, the Danish business conglomerate, Chile represents a significant proportion of its maritime container business. Founded in 1993, Maersk Chile’s line of business includes the transportation of freight on all inland waterways. Described by one peer as a ‘hands on counsel‘, Ana María Emilfork is ‘very practical in her approach to problems’ and has been lauded throughout her time as Maersk Chile’s general counsel. When Maersk Container Industry (MCI) decided to open a factory in 2016 in San Antonio, it turned to Emilfork for advice before creating the first refrigerated container factory in Latin America. With an estimated production of 25,000 units per year, not only did the factory turn a page in the world trade of perishable goods it also accelerated economic growth in the area by creating 1,000 new jobs in an area of high unemployment. Emilfork’s ‘great leadership skills and proactive [manner]’ were an important facet of ensuring the factory opened on time. One nominator has commended her on being ‘a leader, [and] a very strong team player who always is encouraging her team’.
