What I'm looking for

I’m looking for strategy, operations, governance, compliance, programme or transformation work where I can turn complex regulatory and business issues into practical decisions, stronger processes and accountable delivery.

I’ve advised 30+ organisations as an independent Data Protection Counsel and Compliance Consultant, translating privacy obligations into practical governance frameworks, controls and documentation that strengthen audit readiness and management visibility.

I’ve also built and managed my own legal practice, overseeing client acquisition, negotiations, service delivery, deadlines and quality control across concurrent matters. Through ACT! Consulting Services and UNICEF-supported work with the Macedonian Young Lawyers Association, I’ve delivered EU-related legal, policy and market analysis while coordinating project outputs, stakeholder input and reporting.

With an MBA from MODUL University Vienna and more than eight years across law, governance and project delivery, I bring commercial judgement, structured analysis and regulatory expertise to strategy, operations, transformation and programme management work.
