Tech Law

Digital Policy

As a Peruvian lawyer, I have been practising at the fascinating intersection of law, public policy and technology for over ten years now.

 

I began my career in the legal division of Microsoft where I realized the importance of bridging the gap between law and technology.  Then, I counselled Fortune 500 tech companies, developed and delivered legal and policy interventions as the Head of Regulatory and Public Affairs at Niubox.

Presidency of the Council of Ministers 
Universidad de Lima & Internet Society
University of Oxford & OECD

Then, I was the strategic adviser of digital regulation to the Secretary of Digital Transformation of  Peru and I enjoyed being an adjunct professor of digital law at Universidad de Lima and an Internet Governance trainer with Internet Society.

I paused my career to pursue an MPP at the University of Oxford whose last milestone was a summer placement at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
