About

José Millet García is a highly experienced, multicultural and trilingual lawyer with over a decade of experience of managing legal processes at the highest level. He is currently senior legal manager responsible for Northern Latin America and Mexico at the multinational data storage, information security and cloud computing business EMC, and has transformed the legal department over the past two years. As a result, the department is now present in all business activities of the company and has a seat on all client negotiations, giving daily advice to sales teams to close the deals with the legal support and risk management of each transaction. Due to Millet García’s efforts, the company is able to better anticipate risks that it faces, due to the introduction of a special due diligence and review process for sales, operations, hiring, termination and employee relations. The roll-out of compliance training by Millet García in all sales teams has had a significant impact on the larger business and its direction, whilst improving risk anticipation and adding stronger structures has been instrumental in allowing EMC to generate new revenues. In addition, Millet García’s involvement in a ‘big data’ project ‘Centro De Excelencia en Big Data y Data Analytics’ in Colombia has opened new space and opportunities for the sales team. These impressive organisational achievements are not only characteristic of his role at EMC, but apply to the entirety of his legal career, which includes leadership roles at Nextel and Sky de Mexico. Millet García is credited for having structured high performance legal teams that operate on the principles of ethic and trust. ‘I always give empowerment to my team to promote the best legal practices’, Millet García says.
