Diego Álvarez
Country Manager Ecuador
I was born in Quito, Ecuador, in the late 1980s. At that time, in Quito, there was no Internet and it was very difficult to keep up with the fast changes that the world was going through after the fall of the Berlin Wall. However, I have always been restless and curious about the new cultural trends, and this allowed me to explore my creative and innovative side. Professionally, I like connecting people and building bridges that link law, technology and innovation. My personal objective is focused on inspiring other people and organizations to break new ground and see things differently in order to move towards a more collaborative and supportive society.
Fiorella Colonna
Privacy, Technology and Competition Leader
In order to build a digital society, we need to reinvent ourselves and create agile, innovative solutions to address the challenges that the digital economy imposes on us. After gaining significant experience in Competition and Data Privacy Law in the public and private sectors, I pursued a Master's degree in Spain where I discovered the fascinating world of Digital Law and linked it with my previous experience. Personally, I am a fan of collaborative economy apps because they make my life easier and I use them all the time. In the near future, I would like to develop an app to promote social aid projects.
Sofía Fernández
Regulatory and Public Affairs Coordinator
I believe in the inclusive potential of technological development and applied innovation since, as with good public policies, they improve our quality of life and give us tools to think how we want the future to be. I was born in Argentina, spent my childhood in Uruguay and, for some years now, I have lived in Lima where I found something I was looking for –a city where I can live next to the sea-. Currently, I continue my education in governance and public policy, with special interest in digital governance, gender diversity, and the environment.
María Gracia Mendoza
Regulatory and Public Affairs Leader
In 2009, my adventure in law and public policies began in the world of telecommunication companies and digital businesses. In my professional practice, I have always felt motivated to solve problems with creative, innovative ideas and solutions. I strongly believe that public policies are a powerful vehicle for social transformation. My purpose is to contribute my energy and experience, from wherever I am, in order to generate a positive impact on this transformation. Art and culture enthusiast, human rights activist, and an aspiring agent of change for gender equality.
Oscar Montezuma
Director
When I started my career as a lawyer in the mid-1990s, I made my first online purchase with great uncertainty. That is when I discovered a fascinating intersection between the Internet and its potential to promote global commerce and inclusion, and my career as a lawyer. Since then, technology has been my passion. I completed graduate studies in technology law abroad and I have provided advice, for more than 10 years, to governments, multinational companies and entrepreneurs in order to address the challenges that digital regulation imposes. I teach in various Peruvian universities and enjoy writing and lecturing on my areas of interest.
Andrea Feged
General Manager
On my way through life, I want to contribute to improve people’s quality of life from my area of work. I am a Colombian, Peruvian at heart for six years now, and Latin American woman who believes that teamwork and a clear purpose can have an impact and lead to real changes. Being part of Niubox allows me to combine professional challenges and development with humanity.
Valeria Rocca
Management, Development and Strategy Coordinator
I have always enjoyed being part of companies that have as their main purpose making this world a better place. My education had a humanistic and people centered approach, that is why in Niubox I find an opportunity to make an impact and contribute with this philosophy.
Daniela García
Privacy, Tecnology and Competition Analyst
I have always believed that law should continuously adapt to social changes. Nowadays, technology gives us the opportunity for a necessary change that brings innovation closer to the legal world. I have a bachelor’s degree in law, with experience in intellectual property, unfair competition and consumer protection, and I am willing to keep learning and to build bridges between law and innovation for the economic and social development of my country.
Daniel Mejía
Privacy, Technology and Competition Assistant
Law is versatile and its study should be the same. Learning is an endless source of adventures and realities not yet known. Currently, gray areas of Law persist and this results in the classic mystery that, in history, has been the first step for major discoveries. Precisely, I am characterized by having made incursions into various unknown fields, such as mediation, negotiation, and defense of human rights. My aim is to generate the rethinking of legal science through constructive criticism, a sociological analysis, and the study of new approaches. It is the time to start the journey in Digital Law.
Rafael Gabela
Privacy, Technology and Competition Analyst
My innate curiosity has led me to be always eager to learn and to look for solutions that are different from those pre-established. Throughout my career I realized that the traditional way of practicing law is obsolete, and that the legal industry needs a radical and profound change. I discovered the transformative power of technology not only in the practice of law, but in society in general; that is where I want to focus my career and devote my professional life.
Isabel Leon
Privacy, Technology and Competition Analyst
I have always considered myself to be a learning enthusiast. I like exploring new horizons and having a positive impact on any environment in which I participate. For this reason, my main motivation in Law is offering innovative, creative and holistic solutions that are more than just conventional prescriptions. I greatly enjoy projects that evoke our most human side and invite us to strengthen our spirit of social service. I am convinced that the most valuable lives are those that are not lived for themselves. The world moves forward and we move with it. I think that we should not stop being curious about the ineffable or creating what seems to be impossible
Martina Saenz
Public and Regulatory Affairs Assistant
I am passionate about being part of the digital transformation we are living nowadays; my involvement consists of promoting technological development and innovation to attain social, economic, and political benefit for all. I am extremely curious, and I am constantly seeking the opportunity to learn new things, be it through books, conversations or adventures. I love Ecuador, my native land, and I treasure being able to work together with its people and the entire Latin America looking for a better technological future.
Anita de la Piedra
Privacy, Technology and Competition Coordinator
Thinking about the possibilities of inclusion and development that a digital society can contribute to peoples’ lives is what motivates me the most about my work. I am a lawyer graduated from UPC and I am studying for a master’s degree on compliance and personal data. In my professional career, I have specialized in competition, consumer protection and personal data. I am excited about being part of projects which involve thinking out of the box in order to have a positive impact on other people.
Angela Valdivia
Privacy, Technology and Competition Coordinator
I am inspired by the impact that technology and innovation can have on the development of society. I have been fascinated by how Law has adapted, with flexibility and creativity, to the requirements of this driving force of change. I am a lawyer graduated from Universidad Católica San Pablo de Arequipa and, during my professional career, I have advised various organizations on matters related to competition law, intellectual property, and personal data protection. In order to take an academic approach on efficient regulation, I decided to pursue master’s studies at Universidad de Salamanca. My motivation is to focus the practice of law on the application of new technologies, from a perspective that is respectful of human rights.
Alexa Sánchez
Management, Development and Strategy Intern
We live in a society that must adapt to constant changes, and technology is a tool that helps us achieve this change and innovate in the world. I have a bachelor’s degree in Administration and International Business, and one of my purposes in life is to develop the necessary skills that allow me to cooperate and contribute to the development of society. I believe that Niubox is a company that gives me the opportunity to be a part of this major change.
Bruno Fernández de Córdova
Regulatory and Public Affairs Coordinator
I am a lawyer, and I pursued a master’s degree in Constitutional Law and a specialization in Public Management. I am passionate about promoting public policies against violence and discrimination. I have worked in the public and private sectors implementing programs to the benefit of vulnerable populations. Since 2017, human rights activism is a part of my life. As a professional, I seek that technological regulation be more inclusive, intersectional and evidence based. I am convinced that constructive work between the public and private sectors may help us achieve that.
Ana Laura Villicaña
Regulatory and Public Affairs Analyst
Being the curious individual that I am, I did some research on the impact of technology and the economy in the field of law. I previously worked for the Ecuadorian competition authority and after my experience in the public sector, I returned to the private sector eager to be part of the digital revolution we are living. I am excited about how new technologies will affect our lives and, of course, I am passionate about law.
Camila Samaniego
Management, Development and Strategy Assistant
I was born and raised in Ecuador, a small paradisiac corner of this planet, rich and diverse in natural resources, its culture, and its people. This has taught me that the words “small” and “big” are nothing but words, and that the small acts we do every day help to create big changes. Being part of Niubox allows me to bet and contribute to great achievements through small actions. Being able to combine technology with the legal field makes me realize that well-applied technology manages to cross borders and makes possible what was previously considered undoable.
Natalia Maldonado
Privacy, Technology and Competition Assistant
I am a person with three fundamental axes, proactivity, innovation, and ethics. I am a law graduate with experience in intellectual property and competition law and I enjoy creating effective and innovative legal alternatives. My mission is to generate a positive impact wherever I go.
Fabiana Chavez
Regulatory and Public Affairs Analyst
Passionate about law, willing to learn about new practice areas, and motivated to seek the truth and defend justice. I believe that it is important to correctly develop public policies and regulations that allow creating spaces with a holistic approach in order to articulate initiatives in the public and private sectors, as well as in the civil society. I hold a bachelor’s degree in law and, in my work experience, I try to bring a perspective of equality, respect and inclusion, and I am ready to face the new challenges posed by digital transformation and law.
