Introduction

Legal Counsel working at the intersection of tech, commercial transactions and corporate affairs. Driven by intentionality, community and the commitment to long-term solutions, I create agile and safe corporate legal strategies.

My focus is on influencing the correct narrative while accelerating revenue growth, specifically in Artificial Intelligence regulation and products, Consumer Protection Law, Marketing—Copyright, Compliance, complex regulatory landscapes, Commercial Transactions and Data Privacy.

My leadership enables me to influence teams and collaborate cross-functionally to materialise ideas.

I believe in calm, creative technology and the principle of “doing more with less”.

What piece of work or project over the past year are you most proud of, and why was it particularly significant for the business?

Over the past year, my proudest accomplishment was leading the legal strategy and launch of the Google Pixel hardware portfolio in Mexico. This initiative was a top business priority and unlocked a major new revenue stream and commercial channel for Google in the region. The project was exceptionally challenging as it marked the Company’s first hardware device launch in Mexico, meaning there was no pre-existing framework to rely on. I had to navigate complex regulatory and commercial landscapes, successfully negotiating agreements with leading telecommunication companies (telcos) and establishing robust compliance protocols with our supply chain partners. Overcoming these hurdles to deliver a flawless launch was incredibly rewarding and highly impactful for our business expansion.

What skills or experiences have been most important in my development as an in-house lawyer so far?

The most significant experiences in my development have been those that provided high visibility and direct exposure to executive leadership. I have learned that while performing high-quality legal work is fundamental, the ability to communicate that work effectively and project its impact to key decision-makers is what truly accelerates professional growth. Developing executive communication skills has allowed me to ensure that legal advice is not only heard but is integrated into the strategic direction of the business. By effectively conveying complex legal risks in a clear, business-oriented manner to leadership, I built strong cross-functional trust and positioned myself as a strategic partner rather than just a legal reviewer.

Have I been involved in any initiatives to improve legal processes, introduce new ways of working or make the legal function more efficient?

I am a firm believer that integrating Artificial Intelligence into our daily workflows is no longer optional—it is absolutely imperative. Today, legal departments are undergoing a rapid evolution, and those who fail to adopt AI will inevitably find themselves lagging behind. Throughout my role, I have actively championed the use of AI to streamline our legal processes, automate routine document reviews, and drive operational efficiency. This shift has enabled us to transition into more technical, data-driven legal partners, freeing up valuable time to focus on high-impact strategic advisory work rather than repetitive administrative tasks.

Who or what has most influenced my professional development, and how do I continue to build my skills and knowledge?

The arrival of Artificial Intelligence and its deep integration across diverse product portfolios has been the single most influential driver of my professional development. Over the past year, navigating the unprecedented wave of global AI regulations has been both challenging and exhilarating, particularly in Mexico where AI is not yet fully regulated. This regulatory ambiguity presents a unique, spearheading opportunity. Being at the forefront of these cutting-edge projects has pushed me to continuously expand my expertise in intellectual property and tech policy, allowing me to help shape compliance frameworks in real time. I continue to build my skills by pursuing professional certifications, such as the Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP), to stay ahead of the curve.

What excites me most about the future of the in-house legal profession, and where do I hope to continue developing my career?

What excites me most is the transformation of the in-house legal role from a traditional, siloed advisory function into a highly dynamic, hybrid role. The era of the reactive lawyer—who charges by the hour, wears a formal suit, and only steps in to solve a problem from a narrow legal lens—is giving way to a modern, integrated partner. Today’s in-house counsel must possess a blend of technical acumen, commercial strategy, and a deep understanding of legal operations (Legal Ops). I am excited to continue developing my career at this intersection, leveraging legal technology and operational frameworks to proactively drive business velocity and deliver agile, practical solutions.
