What I'm looking for

I seek a senior contract or commercial role where I can lead teams, strengthen compliance processes, support deal-making, and drive risk-managed growth in an international company.

I am a contract manager and lawyer with extensive experience leading contract lifecycle, compliance, and commercial negotiations across multinational corporations and law firms.

I have held leadership roles at Huawei, Chevron, and Accenture, supervising teams and implementing contract management processes while advising on strategic direction and dispute resolution.

My legal background includes industrial and intellectual property work, litigation in civil, commercial and labor matters, and participation in international programs such as Bucerius Law School and an EMBA from UTDT.

I bring strong communication, risk-management, and client-facing skills, fluency in English, and a track record of developing processes that ensure compliance and support business growth.
