What would you say are the unique qualities required to be successful as an in-house lawyer in your industry?
Our industry is constantly changing, whether due to legal aspects or sustainability issues. Therefore, being dynamic, a driving agent for change are essential characteristics for those who work in the oil and gas industry.

Being open to listening to ideas, evaluating situations and proposing, if applicable, models that combine risk and viability are attitudes that I cultivate and that allow positive action with commercial areas.
Do you have a cause, business-related or otherwise, that you are passionate about?
I am passionate about the cause of women, for making it possible, opening paths towards a more inclusive and egalitarian environment.
