About

Described by nominators as someone who is ‘extremely detail orientated and does everything according to her beliefs and principles’, Tassara is known for always keeping in mind what is best for the company. She started her career in the legal department of BVVA Banco Continental in 2007, giving support to the bank’s Retail Banking division. After this she went to work for Mapfre Peru in 2009 before taking on a role at Nissan Maquinarias’s legal department in November 2009. There she was in charge of drafting and negotiations for all types of contracts, giving advice to company’s different areas and worked with the IT department to create a program to solve customer claims in real time. It was in 2011 that she started at global technology pioneer ABB in Peru. There, Tassara was in charge of all contracts and supporting all five commercial areas of the company. Tassara assumed her current role at Belmond Management, the operator of luxury hotels, train services and river cruises, on March 1st 2016. There she was initially hired to handle the contract area, but during that first year her role expanded to cover the compliance area in the legal department which includes all the reports to the headquarters and verifying compliance with all Belmond’s policies and directives. She also attended the internal and external audits and started giving advice on the company’s biggest and most important projects. During her time in this role she has reduced the closure time of contracts by 90% and organised the contracts, which allow the company to make business faster. As testament to being an extremely ‘results orientated’ individual and ‘extremely passionate’ about her work, Tassara was recently recognised as Belmond’s employee of the year for the corporate office in Peru.
