About

Magalí Klix leads the legal and compliance support for the Southern Cone region for Ingredion, a global ingredients and solutions company that has a multitude of food processing operations across the continent of Latin America including in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Peru. Previously known under the name Productos de Maiz, which has a history in Buenos Aires since 1928, the company was rebranded under the Ingredion name in 2012. Operating in the heavily regulated food industry requires expert care from the Ingredion legal and compliance team, led by Klix in her role as legal affairs manager for the Southern Cone region. Klix has an additional facet to her role in the form of responsibility for internal management; she is in charge of the internal efforts in drafting, interpreting and applying internal policies regarding human resources issues and labour relations. These include negotiation and interaction with union officials as well as communication with government agencies. A highly competent and loyal professional that can provide support in three languages, Klix is a member of the board of directors of the company and is well-known by her peers for being ‘open, transparent and efficient’ whilst receiving praise for knowing how to ‘inspire the people that work with her [and] always maintaining high ethical values.’
