Compliance & Legal Consultant at VB Tech Ltd, advising on contracts, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance.

Belgium

Message

At VB Tech Ltd, I maintain corporate governance, statutory compliance, and regulatory filings. I also draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts and advise management on legal matters.

At DECATHLON, I managed footwear manufacturing and supply chain operations, including regulatory monitoring across environmental standards, chemical safety, renewable energy, and CO₂ emissions. I also worked on technical strategy, product development, supplier quality, and industrialisation.

I founded PATH Bangladesh, a registered non-profit working on the rule of law, access to education, climate action, and inclusive development. At DECATHLON, I also delivered compliance, development, and management training to teams in several countries.

I'm studying for an Advanced Master in Intellectual Property and ICT Law at KU Leuven, focusing on data protection, AI regulation, and the legal and ethical governance of emerging technologies. My background also includes a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Science in Leather Engineering.
