About

Valeria Plastino has been in her current role as vice president, general counsel Latin America since June 2007, originally with Level 3 Communications before it was taken over by CenturyLink in 2017. She is admitted to practice law in New York and Argentina, and directly responsible for all legal, regulatory and compliance matters in Latin America for the company. She is in charge of a number of highly qualified and diverse legal teams able to provide general legal support to the entire country or the region they are responsible for depending on workload requirements in each area. An extremely commercially-focused in-house lawyer, Plastino sees herself and her team as close allies and partners to the business, and makes a point of staying abreast of all developments in the industry the company operates in. She recently designed a comprehensive new contract review and management procedure which will shave hundreds of personnel-hours off this task and increase departmental efficiency.
