About

Ronald Ramírez joined Hewlett-Packard Costa Rica as general counsel in 2008, and from 2012 served as general counsel for Central America and the Caribbean. After the company split into HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2015 he was appointed as general counsel of Central America and Caribbean at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Ramírez played a significant part in the division of the company in the region. He comments: ‘I directed the separation of all operations covering thousands of employees and 1,500 manufacturing services in Central America and the Caribbean. This meant the complete restructuring of the company and creation of HP Inc. in the region, negotiating separation of all contracts with customers and suppliers channels’. He has since transformed the legal function at Hewlett Packard Enterprise by deploying a number of advanced tools that can measure the time and efficiency of the legal department while automating low complexity tasks. Additionally, he has also been praised for several cost reduction projects. Ramírez was also instrumental in closing a key business deal that exceeded $30m, which impacted the earnings reports in the region. His role in this matter led his recognition as one of the top six legal talents within the company by group general counsel John Schultz.
