Ana Buitrago of Amazon EU SRL
Amazon Spain’s Legal Director Ana Buitrago joined the technology giant in 2012 after a ten-year stint at Iberdrola Renovables, during which time she shaped the international expansion strategy and coordinated its IPO.
She is highlighted by sources for her ability to influence and shape the industry, as well as for her strong skills in creating and organising teams. One interviewee asserts: “She is extremely competent in corporate matters and has the ability to choose the relevant expertise required for the matter.”
Buitrago’s responsibilities at Amazon involve managing all legal corporate issues and steering the company through a challenging regulatory framework, while maintaining a business-oriented perspective.
She started her career as an associate at Uría Menéndez, later obtaining an LL.M. from Fordham University in New York and working as a foreign associate at Brown & Wood. Buitrago moved in-house to Terra Networks in 2000, making her a pioneer in legal work for online portals.
