I am a real estate and employee relations leader driving strategic risk mitigation.
United StatesI lead Amazon’s first Employee Relations Real Estate team, driving risk assessments and real estate strategy across North America and Canada. I design tools and processes to scale risk mitigation and train teams on real estate-specific employee relations matters.
Previously, I served as Associate Vice President and Senior Counsel at The LiRo Group, designated lead counsel for a $1.7B disaster recovery program and Governor’s Island projects, and promoted within 12 months for measurable impact. I also supported executive leadership at Battery Park City, contributing to initiatives that helped generate $110M+ in revenues.
I combine legal, real estate, construction, and HR expertise to manage compliance, contracts, and cross-functional initiatives. I am collaborative, results-oriented, and focused on developing talent and practical solutions that reduce risk and improve organizational performance.
