What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role where I can leverage my legal expertise to drive compliance and support business growth.

I am a qualified lawyer with international experience, currently serving as the Head of Legal at a growing European tech group. My expertise lies in data protection, commercial, and corporate law, where I lead legal strategy and advise senior leadership on regulatory, contractual, and litigation matters across various jurisdictions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully built legal functions from the ground up, restructured corporate entities, and managed high-stakes disputes before EU and national authorities. My role involves drafting and negotiating a wide range of legal documents, providing active legal advice to development and sales teams, and managing external legal counsel.

I am passionate about fostering a culture of compliance and ensuring that legal frameworks support business objectives. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to navigate complex legal landscapes and deliver strategic solutions that mitigate risks and drive growth.
