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

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...
“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
