From Legal Expert to Strategic Partner: An Executive LL.M. Mentoring Session

What does it take to evolve from technical legal expert to trusted strategic partner at the executive table?

Join us for an exclusive Executive Mentoring session featuring two distinguished Executive LL.M. alumni:

Claudio Elia
Group Vice President and Legal Counsel, Product Groups

Ana Cecilia Caicedo Pulido
Legal & HR Executive, Mibanco Colombia

In this interactive conversation, Claudio and Ana Cecilia will share how expanding their business, financial, and cross-border perspective strengthened their leadership impact and strategic influence within their organizations. They will reflect on pivotal career moments, how legal insight shaped key business decisions, and how the Executive LL.M. supported their evolution beyond purely technical roles.

The session will conclude with small-group breakout discussions, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with our alumni, reflect on their own career trajectory, and explore how to elevate their role from legal advisor to strategic decision-maker.

A practical and candid look at the mindset, network, and multidisciplinary approach that define the Executive LL.M. (IE & Northwestern) experience.
