Mercy Yego

I'm a legally trained professional with a passion for solving complex regulatory challenges in emerging markets. My career spans legal practice, healthcare supply chain operations, and international development—giving me a unique perspective on how law enables business growth in resource-constrained environments.

Current Work: I advise an Healthcare company on regulatory compliance across 50+ African jurisdictions, draft joint venture agreements, and structure collective procurement initiatives that unlock market access for healthcare organizations.

Recent Projects: I've led regulatory due diligence for pharmaceutical distribution networks, negotiated multi-country logistics agreements, and coordinated policy advocacy with government bodies to advance healthcare supply chain harmonization.

What Drives Me: I'm drawn to roles where legal strategy directly impacts business outcomes—whether that's reducing compliance risk, accelerating market entry, or structuring deals that benefit multiple stakeholders. I work best in dynamic, mission-driven environments where I can wear multiple hats.

Technical Strengths: Contract negotiation and drafting (MOUs, NDAs, service agreements, joint ventures) | Regulatory compliance mapping across jurisdictions | Due diligence and risk assessment | Governance framework design | Data protection and IP law | Stakeholder coordination across government, CSOs, and private sector

Languages: English, Swahili | Location: Kenya (Remote-first)

I'm actively seeking remote legal counsel, regulatory compliance, or contract management roles with organizations scaling across emerging markets or the development sector.
