Christiana was born in London, UK. She graduated in law and was further awarded an LL.M in European Law, Business and Politics from the University of Surrey (UK). She has been an associate AGP Law since 2006; she in an of counsel since 2012.

Christiana is a ‘multi’ character meaning she has multiple skills, experiences, and talents. She is very driven and loves facing challenges head-on. She also has a strong sense of value and is an active supporter of the ‘tech for good’ movement where tech is used as a way to create a positive impact on society.

Christiana has always worked very closely with large scale companies, at first as a legal consultant in the areas Corporate, Company, Trusts, and Shipping Law, then as the Chief Legal Officer of an online financial trading company. She is currently both an Internet and IP lawyer, and a business and legal innovation strategy specialist working with some of the world’s largest companies. She helps them ‘transform from the inside’ by helping them turn challenges they face due to today’s societal, legal, and regulatory disruptions into an opportunity to innovate and reinvent their legal and business models.

Her immersion in the tech world, experience in Silicon Sentier in Paris, and her specialisation in financial laws and IP, means she is an asset to any company facing both legal and business challenges.
