In a significant move that reflects its commitment to robust legal governance and corporate strategies, EBG has welcomed Jorge (Jay) Reynardus as its new General Counsel. Based in the company's Aventura office, Reynardus will be instrumental in directing all legal matters and will report directly to Chief Financial Officer Robert Riesenberg.
Reynardus's appointment comes at a pivotal time for EBG, known for its innovative e-commerce platforms and cutting-edge travel technology solutions. His responsibilities will include leading legal strategies, compliance initiatives, and business transaction reviews, as well as engaging in risk mitigation efforts across the enterprise. EBG aims to benefit from Reynardus’s extensive expertise, which he has refined over a 17-year career at Amadeus Group, where he rose through the ranks to serve as General Counsel for the Americas. His tenure there involved overseeing diverse legal functions including acquisitions, intellectual property management, and regulatory compliance.
Jay’s vast experience in the global travel and tourism sector positions him as a valuable asset in strengthening EBG’s strategic vision. His approach to leading multilingual legal teams has previously been recognized for building comprehensive legal frameworks in complex environments, something EBG is keen to replicate. "With his rich background and insights into the legal landscape of our industry, we are eager to see how Jay contributes to our growth and maintains our commitment to excellence in every facet of our operations," stated Brett Reizen, EBG’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
Reynardus is not just limited to legal expertise; he also carries a wealth of experience in handling corporate governance which is crucial for navigating the intricate challenges that come with mergers and acquisitions. This ensures that EBG can confidently pursue growth opportunities while maintaining compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Academic credentials further bolster Reynardus’s profile. With a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and a Master’s degree in US History/International Studies from Florida International University, he is well-equipped to handle the complex legal frameworks necessary in today’s global business environment.
EBG, which connects customers to exclusive deals through various e-commerce channels, is expanding its leadership team to further enhance its operations and market reach. The firm operates several employee-oriented programs such as TicketsatWork and Undercover Tourist®, aiming to deliver unique experiences to over 100 million users.
As Reynardus steps into this significant role, the expectations are high for EBG to evolve its legal landscape under his stewardship. This appointment not only signifies EBG’s commitment to legal integrity but also illustrates its broader mission to create value for stakeholders through diligent compliance and forward-thinking legal strategies. As businesses navigate an ever-changing regulatory environment, Reynardus’s leadership will be crucial for EBG to adapt and thrive in the marketplace. Expect to see more strategic initiatives as Reynardus embarks on this new chapter with the company, further solidifying EBG's position as a leader in the travel and entertainment sector.
