About

‘An extraordinary professional’, Ana Buitrago has impressed private practice lawyers and in-house colleagues throughout her 15 year in-house career. With previous senior roles at Iberdrola Renovables and Terra Lycos, the internet holding company of Telefónica, Buitrago joined Amazon in 2012 as the Spanish legal director, becoming the first member of the Amazon Spain legal team. Upon her arrival at Amazon she recruited all members of the legal team and she takes pride in the growth and consolidation of a highly efficient and mature team that excels in all areas of practice. She has defined and implemented the existing legal policies and strategies, simplified internal processes and launched the pan-EU Amazon marketing guidelines. Buitrago has been instrumental in the decision making and execution of Amazon product, services, and category launches. With the regulatory framework of e-commerce still evolving, Buitrago is constantly faced with new challenges. ‘We provide customer-focused solutions that are often very innovative, ahead of the existing regulatory framework. I overcome the challenge by finding the best solution for customers’.
