This edition of The Legal 500 GC Powerlist Miami offers insights into the dynamic in-house legal community in Miami. Senior in-house counsel featured in this edition shared their goals for the upcoming months, reflected on their achievements in the past year and expressed their ongoing commitments. Amid the diverse responses, a common theme emerged, showcasing that the in-house community in Miami is adept at navigating the fast-paced demands of modern business. They are embracing revolutionary artificial intelligence in their roles and challenging their legal teams to stay ahead.
Edna Falla-Quintanilla, managing director and regional counsel at Federal Express Latin America & Caribbean, shares, “We’re focused on enhancing the value proposition of our company in growing markets and increasing the adoption of legal technologies in 2024.” Meanwhile, Ernesto Luciano, chief legal officer at International Money Express, outlines goals such as ‘furthering growth and diversification, implementing zero-based budgeting, and carefully selecting and utilising external counsel’ after building a legal department from scratch.
Regarding their commitment to causes, Esteban Mancuso, senior counsel Latin America at Citigroup says his team is passionate about giving back to the communities where they operate. He notes, ‘It adds purpose to what we do. For years in Central America, we have been part of a project for young entrepreneurs called “Crece tu Empresa” put together by the NGO Technoserve where we create awareness of legal issues that may become critical for the development of their businesses.’
Mentorship initiatives are also a common thread among the esteemed counsel in this edition. Denisse Beccera, general counsel and chief compliance officer of PayJoy underscores the importance of mentorship stating, ‘By actively engaging in mentorship, I aim to contribute to the ongoing transformation of workplace dynamics, creating a more inclusive and equitable environment for all.’
On behalf of The Legal 500, congratulations to all included in the GC Powerlist Miami 2024! We’re excited to be back again in Miami celebrating with this group of innovative in-house counsel.
