Career Biography

I am a lawyer with over seventeen years of professional experience in corporate law, governance, and dispute resolution. My career has evolved at the intersection of law and business, combining the rigor and discipline of the legal profession with a results-oriented, forward-looking approach. It has been driven by a consistent effort to modernize the role of the in-house counsel, transforming it from a reactive support function into an essential driver of organisational coherence, integrity, and performance.

I have worked across industries such as energy, healthcare, and infrastructure, navigating highly regulated environments and complex organisational dynamics. This cross-sector experience has shaped a versatile professional perspective, one that connects legal precision with operational understanding and practical foresight. I have managed legal portfolios covering corporate and commercial law, contract management, public procurement, regulatory compliance, data protection, and litigation, often in fast-changing or high-stakes contexts.

A consistent part of my work has been strengthening and structuring legal departments. I have led the development and implementation of governance and compliance frameworks, designed internal procedures to enhance risk control and performance visibility, and introduced project management methodologies to improve delivery, transparency, and collaboration within legal teams. I believe that the effectiveness of an in-house lawyer depends on structure, communication, and the ability to translate complexity into actionable clarity.

My professional philosophy is grounded in the conviction that legal leadership is not only about risk mitigation, but also about institutional integrity. I have worked to build environments where the legal function acts as both a stabilising force and an enabler of innovation, helping organisations act responsibly, anticipate challenges, and make decisions based on coherent principles rather than immediate pressures.

Among the projects I have led are comprehensive compliance and governance redesign initiatives, the implementation of GDPR within a large medical organisation, and the restructuring of legal operations supporting complex infrastructure projects. These experiences have reinforced my belief that the legal profession, at its best, connects regulation, ethics, and business value in a unified framework.

Equally important has been my focus on people. I have built and developed legal teams that operate with professionalism, independence, and adaptability, encouraging continuous improvement and collaborative performance. Leadership, for me, means creating systems that allow competence and judgment to thrive.

Ultimately, my professional principles are inseparable from my personal ones, a commitment to integrity, civic responsibility, and sustainable impact. My professional journey has been guided not only by delivering legal solutions, but also by fostering transparent governance, ethical decision-making, and long-term value for organisations and society.
