Seasoned legal professional specializing in commercial contracts and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned legal professional with over 15 years of experience in negotiating and drafting commercial and technology agreements for global technology companies. My expertise lies in commercial transactions and data privacy compliance, where I have successfully built scalable legal processes that balance business growth with risk mitigation. I have a strong track record of partnering with sales teams to accelerate deal velocity while effectively protecting company interests across US and international markets.
Throughout my career, I have negotiated hundreds of SaaS, MSA, SOW, NDAs, and technology agreements, providing practical solutions to drive deal closure. I have consistently partnered with go-to-market teams to streamline contract processes, reducing review cycles by 40% and enhancing transaction velocity. My experience includes implementing compliance programs aligned with GDPR, CCPA, and international privacy regulations, ensuring adherence to evolving requirements while optimizing legal operations efficiency.
As a Corporate Counsel, I have led customer-facing legal negotiations and provided business-oriented counsel on complex legal issues, including data privacy and security requirements. My ability to translate complex legal concepts into actionable business guidance has been instrumental in supporting internal stakeholders and enhancing customer experiences.
