As a Senior Corporate Counsel with over 10 years of legal experience across diverse industries, I specialize in providing strategic legal counsel to support business growth and mitigate risks. I have extensive expertise in contract negotiation, employment law, M&A, dispute resolution, and corporate governance. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with cross-functional teams, ensuring legal compliance and offering proactive solutions that enhance organizational value. I am admitted to practice law in New York and qualified as a Solicitor in England and Wales, which enables me to navigate complex legal landscapes effectively. Currently, at Smartsheet, I manage legal matters within the EMEA region, focusing on compliance, litigation, and contract management. I provide legal advice on a range of issues, from service agreements to corporate governance, while also conducting training programs to raise compliance awareness. Prior to this, I served as Legal Counsel at ServerChoice, where I established the legal function, standardized legal processes, and ensured GDPR compliance. My experience spans both public and private sectors, making me adept at handling diverse commercial legal challenges.Tech Stack
