What I'm looking for

I seek a senior legal role focused on compliance, governance and investigations where I can lead cross-functional programmes, influence policy, mentor teams, and partner with global stakeholders to strengthen controls and drive regulatory alignment.

I am a UK-qualified lawyer with 13+ years' experience leading cross-functional programmes, third-party governance, compliance and investigations across complex, global environments. I have a proven track record advising senior stakeholders, establishing governance cadences, managing litigation and driving compliance with data privacy and regulatory requirements.

I have led internal investigations, coordinated sustainability initiatives with UN bodies, negotiated and governed commercial contracts, and supported Finance, IT, Medical and Procurement functions. I deliver decision-oriented reporting, training on policies and AI contract tools, and pragmatic legal solutions that balance risk mitigation with business needs.
