With over a decade of experience in compliance, ethics, corporate
governance, and risk management, I have built a strong career working in
multinational corporations such as Viseu Secondment (@Google), LG
Electronics, Samsung, Duratex (Dexco), and Milestone Technologies
(@Meta, Ex-Facebook).
Currently, as Regional Counsel for Ethics and Business Integrity at Google,
I provide strategic ABAC (Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption) advisory and
oversee third-party due diligence for the US and Canada. My role includes
managing complex compliance escalations, delivering tailored training
programs, leading risk assessments, and collaborating with forensic,
internal audit, and due diligence teams to strengthen Google's ethics and
compliance framework.
Prior to Google, I played a key role in compliance leadership at Samsung,
where I restructured the compliance department, improved whistleblower
channels, and developed the 'Culture for Ethics' program—reducing false
reports by 64%. I have conducted high-impact investigations across
multiple regions and implemented intelligence tools to mitigate both
physical and cyber risks. At LG Electronics, I specialized in contract law and
law firm management, overseeing regulatory and corporate legal matters.
My expertise includes developing and implementing compliance policies,
conducting due diligence, managing risk assessments, and leading ethical
investigations. Additionally, I have designed and facilitated executive
training programs on ethics and integrity, fostering compliance-driven
cultures within organizations. Fluent in English and proficient in Spanish, I
thrive in international and multicultural environments.
Key Achievements:
Samsung: Implemented the "Culture for Ethics" program, which resulted
in a 64% reduction in false or out-of-scope reports and standardized
whistleblowing and investigation processes.
Training: Delivered over 120 hours of training on compliance and ethics,
promoting greater awareness and reinforcing a culture of integrity in
organizations.
