About

Since joining Citigroup in 2010, Mariel Creo has supported a number of economically significant capital markets transactions, including offerings by institutions in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Panama and Mexico. She impressed nominators with her ‘deep understanding of the relevant Latin American financial and regulatory environments’ and her capacity to handle multiple transactions. One senior private practice nominator commented on her ‘tireless work’ and ability to ‘contribute immeasurably to the success of [a] deal’, adding that her ‘perceptive legal mind and unique insights have been invaluable to our collaboration and success’. Creo began her career as Mexico-based corporate counsel with Cemex in 1996. She has been an associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and Mayer Brown in New York and, from 2007 to 2010, a senior associate at White & Case in New York. In addition to her knowledge of Latin American market practice and legal frameworks and experience in complex capital markets and banking matters, Creo stood out to nominators for her collaborative and personable manner: ‘She has an always-cheerful demeanour’, comments one nominator, ‘and our work experiences with her have been consistently positive.’
