About

Distinguished by her negotiation and analytical skills, as well as her ‘out of the box’ thinking, Fernando Ramo boasts 20 years of leading growth initiatives across highly regulated and competitive environments. Hired by Amazon in April 2015 to navigate the Mexican legal function of the company, Ramo works alongside the senior management structure to develop successful corporate strategies in the region. ‘Working closely with the different businesses I support has made me a better and more practical lawyer’, Ramo says. ‘Working in-house is a challenge that you either love or you hate; there is no in between. You become more of a problem solver rather than a lawyer’. Prior to joining Amazon, Ramo worked in the telecommunications sector, initially as general counsel at Satmex (2012 to 2014), and later as general counsel and regulatory affairs head at Maxcom Telecomunicaciones (2014 to 2015). Prior to that Ramo worked in corporate, M&A and project finance matters at various law firms in Mexico and New York City.
