Multilingual Contract Manager with expertise in commercial contracts.
What I'm looking for
I am a multilingual Contract Manager and Legal Counsel with over 6 years of experience in reviewing, drafting, and negotiating complex commercial contracts. My proven track record in managing contract risks and aligning terms with business policies has allowed me to serve effectively as a liaison between commercial teams, project stakeholders, and external clients.
Currently, I am self-employed and managing two ongoing client missions while pursuing my Master of Laws (LLM) at Tilburg University. Previously, I led the review, negotiation, and drafting of high-value commercial contracts at Coriolis Composites SAS, where I provided risk assessments and supported cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with business goals. My legal, sales, and logistics background has significantly shortened contract negotiation and internal validation cycles, enhancing operational efficiency.
