What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values legal expertise and promotes compliance, with opportunities for growth.

I am a highly skilled Legal Counsel with 5 years of experience in corporate, commercial, and contract law, having worked in both private practice and in-house roles. As a Certified Data Protection Officer (DPO), I specialize in privacy law and GDPR compliance, ensuring that organizations align with legal standards while mitigating risks. My proactive approach and discipline make me a valuable legal business partner.

In my current role at Stichting IDH, I advise on corporate and commercial legal matters, review and negotiate agreements, and oversee data protection strategies. I have successfully led GDPR compliance projects and developed privacy policies that have significantly reduced data breach risks. My international experience allows me to work effectively with diverse teams across Europe and Africa, enhancing collaboration and understanding of cultural sensitivities.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly and concisely, enabling informed decision-making at all levels of an organization. I am passionate about using my legal expertise to enable businesses to thrive while ensuring compliance and risk management.
