What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior in-house legal role where I can lead privacy, commercial and corporate governance, advise executives, and support strategic growth within a collaborative culture.

I am a seasoned corporate counsel with extensive experience leading legal, regulatory, and compliance strategies for technology and financial services companies. I have managed corporate governance, negotiated complex commercial agreements, and supported M&A and strategic partnerships across Canadian and U.S. jurisdictions.

My practice emphasizes data privacy and IP protection — including PIPEDA, HIPAA and GDPR — as well as SaaS, IT and vendor contracting, litigation oversight, and regulatory risk mitigation. I have a track record of creating precedent resources, streamlining contract processes, and guiding cross-functional teams.

I bring leadership in managing legal departments, corporate secretarial functions, and budgets while advising executive teams and boards to align legal strategies with business objectives and operational growth.
