About me

I am a strategic leader in contract governance and operations, specializing in the modernization of legal workflows within highly regulated sectors. My career began in the Architecture and Engineering (A&E) industry, where I developed foundational expertise in managing complex contract negotiations and rigorous compliance standards. Today, I bridge that technical discipline with executive leadership to transform contractual risk into operational excellence.

Deep Industry Roots

My professional origins in the A&E sector provided a deep understanding of the high- stakes demands of professional services contracting. Central to my background is a specialized expertise in legal contract negotiation; I have spent years directly managing the redlining and execution of standard agreements, Joint Ventures, and the critical flow-down provisions that protect firm integrity. Beyond the contract, I have experience managing statutory compliance and internal Code of Conduct initiatives to ensure multi-jurisdictional alignment and corporate ethical standards. These experiences shaped my core belief that disciplined compliance is the framework that upholds a firm’s professional reputation.

Digital Transformation & Operational Velocity

Building on that foundation, I have moved into a leadership capacity directing large-scale modernization efforts within a global organization. I believe that effective contract management in the modern era requires technological agility. I have successfully led core systems migrations and pioneered the use of Artificial Intelligence to automate compliance standards. By streamlining intake processes and eliminating negotiation bottlenecks, I have significantly accelerated contract cycle times and increased organizational output through sustainable process improvements.

Strategic Leadership & Governance

I thrive in matrixed environments, building high-performing teams and implementing scalable solutions to complex challenges. My leadership focus includes:

• Governance Frameworks:

  Authoring and implementing policy and accountability models that strengthen internal controls and ensure alignment with corporate standards.

• Process Excellence:

  Developing comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and performance metrics that drive continuous improvement and team growth.

• Cross-Functional Integration:

  Partnering across Legal, Risk, and Shared Services to ensure that all due diligence and compliance requirements are synthesized into the contract lifecycle.

Driven by a passion for navigating complex legal and compliance landscapes, I am always seeking new opportunities to solve high-stakes challenges and advance the field of contract operations.
