I am a versatile and business-savvy Senior Legal Executive with an entrepreneurial spirit and an irreproachable sense of professionalism honed in law firm and corporate legal environments. My integrity, flexibility and adaptability and my say-to-do ratio of 1:1 allows me to move easily between a hands-on, operations-focused view and a strategic outlook. By leading and managing a team of legal professionals on the premise that accountability begins with me, I have earned a reputation for innovative and creative problem solving, leading by example, obtaining commitments from key stakeholders, and consistently exceeding goals. My ability to effectively simplify complex legal concepts for business audiences, communicate recommendations in plain English, and efficiently negotiate and close a wide variety of complex commercial agreements in fast-paced environments enables me to develop a “can do” organization that strikes the proper balance of being thorough in diligence while bringing the sense of urgency necessary to keep pace with fast-moving businesses. I have a proven ability to establish strong relationships with leaders of various functional areas, often in different locations and countries, positioning the legal department as well-regarded resource. This approach enables me to rapidly understand a company’s needs, assess current structure and team, and take steps to ensure the development of a best-in-class legal organization that is proactive in identifying and mitigating potential risk exposure.I currently lead a legal department of a company that operates in Europe, Asia, North America and South America, where I handle matters involving complex commercial transactions, employment law, data privacy, and compliance on a global basis. My performance has earned me recognition for combining intellectual bandwidth and emotional intelligence to deal with complexity and, at times, uncertainty while delivering first-class customer service.
