As a strategic and pragmatic thought leader, I help public and private companies in diverse industries by providing analytical insight, legal perspective, and sound solutions in sometimes ambiguous, novel, and challenging business environments. A member of the executive team, I acquired broad corporate and transactional (including M&A) experience at both multinational/national law firms and in international corporate legal departments. My expertise includes developing and leading legal and compliance departments with processes that capitalize on industry best practices and technologies to serve as a true partner to business sectors while mitigating legal risk across multiple jurisdictions.
