About

With over 15 years of legal and managerial experience at the highest level, Ana Maria Revollo is perfectly suited to take charge of all legal and compliance matters at the Colombian petroleum exploration and production company, Global Energy Development. Revollo was described by a colleague as an ‘expert in all legal matters of oil and gas exploration’, having made a noticeable impact on the company during her first year within the role, impressing with leadership, initiative and ability to successfully meet all her deadlines and goals. Before joining Global Energy Development, Revollo worked briefly in two different roles: as a director of corporate area in a private practice firm Rodriguez-Azuero Abogados, and corporate legal manager at Integral de Servicios Tecnicos. Between 2008 and 2013 Revollo worked at Global Energy Development’s subsidiary, Colombia Energy Development, as general counsel and legal representative where she had responsibility for all legal and compliance matters in Colombia and Cayman Islands, supporting the legal aspects of the day to day operational activities of the drilling and production departments as well as overseeing the contractual and environmental process.

Revollo did not spend her entire legal career in the energy sector, before 2008 she spent some time in in-house legal roles in other sectors, as well, such as telecommunications, food and beverages and financial services.
