About

Having spent most of her career in the telecommunications industry, including nearly 13 years as deputy legal director of Telefónica México, Mariana Páez Robles Martínez assumed the general counsel position of Eutelsat Americas, one of the world’s leading satellite operators, in 2014. During her time at Eutelsat Americas, Robles Martínez has overseen the integration of the legal team with its European satellite controller and American affiliates, while also implementing company policies through innovative use of technology for better management and corporate information. Recently, she has overseen the consolidation of the legal area, ensuring it functions as a highly active unit. This is designed to facilitate efficient execution of new strategic opportunities for the business, through the transfer of assets for growing business in the Americas, a new market for the holding company. Robles Martínez relishes the opportunity ‘to work in companies that force you out of the lawyer’s role, and to constantly innovate in a very agile sector that requires constant updating’.
