About

Starting her first in-house experience with Cargill ten years ago, Ramona Ene has stuck to this role ever since, claiming that she fell in love with the industry and company because it serves Romanian farmers and contributes to the food that she eats on a daily basis. Ene is the legal manager responsible for Romania and Bulgaria at multinational company Cargill, which provides food, agriculture, financial and industrial products and services in 67 countries. Ene is part of a wider European legal team of approximately 60 lawyers, where she is considered an asset to a unit that is constantly exchanging best practices, ideas and knowledge. As part of Cargill’s goal of ensuring that it invests its financial and human resources to help meet the business objectives while serving the community, Cargill has launched Cargill Care Councils; employee-led groups that implement strategic community involvement activities in their local communities. Ene took great pleasure in initiating Cargill’s first Care Council in Romania and served as its President for a number of years, helping the communities to thrive together with the company. On August 2015, Cargill announced that it signed in a €1.35bn deal to enter the aquaculture nutrition business. As a competition law specialist, Ene was invited to be part of the larger legal team that helped achieve this deal, with her role being to manage and obtain regulatory approvals.
