My background spans both private corporations and government environments, along with managerial leadership in legal operations, contract management, and compliance. I have directed large and small teams of diverse individuals, streamlined workflows, and implemented process improvements that increase efficiency, mitigate risk, and align operations with business and regulatory objectives. I’m particularly skilled in:
Compliance and Risk Management – analyzing, designing, and improving workflows and systems to ensure organizational accountability, reduce litigation, maximize technology benefits, and enhance efficiency; and
Contracts and Negotiation – drafting, analyzing, enforcing, and optimizing legal and commercial agreements to ensure the prosperity of the business and continue relationships; and
Legal Operations & Policy – legal research and analysis of complex regulations for businesses and commercial environments to ensure compliance, maximize standardization and policies, and audit implementation & enforcement.
