About

Atlanta-based Astrid Seijas McGeeney is vice president and associate general counsel for Turner Latin America. She oversees all legal matters across Latin America, including the acquisition of new content for Turner’s portfolio of pay-television networks in the region, securing licenses for such content, and work related to advertising and merchandising. One nominator praises Seijas McGeeney for ‘her modern mind-set when it comes to legal matters – she has a built a very effective, modern legal department that is, in many ways, a good example of best-practice for a legal function.’ Before she joined Turner in 1999, Seijas McGeeney worked at Torres Plaz & Araujo, one of Venezuela’s largest firms. After the research deadline for this publication passed, Victor Roldan assumed responsibility for the Latin America region for Turner beginning in June 2017.
