What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers strategic challenges and opportunities for growth in compliance and legal operations.

As an accomplished Legal and Compliance Operations professional, I bring a wealth of experience in managing legal frameworks and compliance programs within dynamic, high-growth environments. My career has been marked by a proven track record in contract negotiation and compliance management, providing strategic legal advice to senior leadership in the fintech and tech sectors. I excel at building scalable legal processes and managing KYC/KYB procedures, ensuring adherence to international regulatory requirements.

Currently, I serve as the Head of Legal Operations at Aleph Zero Foundation, where I have designed and implemented comprehensive legal and compliance processes that align with internal policies and international regulations. My role involves liaising with external legal counsel on regulatory reporting and compliance documentation, as well as leading negotiations for strategic contracts. My collaborative approach with cross-functional teams ensures that our legal frameworks support user acquisition and retention efforts effectively.

Throughout my career, I have held various positions that have honed my skills in compliance strategy development, risk identification, and legal advisory for tech and fintech. My educational background, with a Master of Law (LL.M) from the University of Wrocław, further solidifies my expertise in corporate law, compliance, and financial law.
