Luis Moreno Ocampo was the first Chief Prosecutor of the permanent International Criminal Court, based at The Hague. His office was involved in twenty of the most serious crises of the 21st century including Iraq, Korea, Afghanistan, and Palestine. He conducted investigations in seven different countries including Libya and Sudan. The World Bank has also appointed him to lead an expert panel to examine an alleged corruption conspiracy related to a $3 billion project in Bangladesh. Previously, Moreno Ocampo played a crucial role during the transition to democracy in Argentina. In 1985, he was the deputy Prosecutor in the Junta trial in Argentina and later he led investigations against guerrilla leaders and Army officers involved in two military rebellions and dozens of cases of corruption involving high level public officers. He played a key role in establishing compliance systems in the Telecommunication, Energy, Gas and other privatized services in Argentina. As a private consultant, an active Board member of Transparency International and former president of its Latin America and Caribbean office, and an advisor of the World Bank Institute, he designed anticorruption strategies in more than 40 countries. Moreno Ocampo has taught recent seminars in anticorruption strategies at Stanford and Harvard and is currently a Senior Fellow at the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs at Yale University and a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at New York University.
Moreno Ocampo LLC is a niche global consulting firm focused on developing tailored strategies to manage complex conflicts with transnational dimensions. Conflicts increasingly include a multiplicity of states and authorities with different legal frameworks, and in some cases with operational practices that divert from the legal system. Moreno Ocampo offers his unique experience to address private and public conflicts originating from the deficiencies of national legal systems, due to corruption, political agendas, and inefficiency. Moreno Ocampo LLC is small by design. We are a strategic unit specialized on managing and integrating different frameworks and we work with the legal and advisory teams of our clients. We help to design and implement solutions taking into consideration the fragmented global legal system. We have an office in New York as well as professionals located in Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe. We also have a strategic partnership with Getnick & Getnick LLP, a leading US law firm specializing in whistleblower litigation.
Founder and main shareholder of a company which uses market forces to increase transparency and efficiency in public procurement. The company works in Argentina and produces cross-border and local information about public purchases carried out by the national government, provinces, and cities. Open Society provided a grant to explore the possibilities of developing similar activities in Eastern Europe. The use of economic incentives to reduce the cost of corruption was a concept explored with Rafael Di Tella and I decided to create a company to explore its feasibility. A case study of the company was made by John Mc Millan, Transparent markets: Promoting Public Values through Public Enterprise, Stanford Graduate School of Business, 2003.
