What I'm looking for
I’m a Contract & Commercial leader with 18+ years of experience in AI governance, complex global deals, contract management, and risk. I support organizations in structuring deals, managing risk, and ensuring profitable, scalable outcomes across business, legal, and delivery teams.
At Accenture, I lead end-to-end Contract Management for complex, high-value, multi-million dollar deals—owning deal shaping and structuring (SOWs, MSAs) through negotiation, governance, and risk management. I mentor distributed CM teams and drive consistency through Contract Lifecycle Management, improving contract compliance and strengthening risk visibility across engagements.
My focus is increasingly on integrating AI/GenAI into commercial constructs—helping evolve contracting models for AI-enabled services with Responsible AI principles. Known for a practical, business-first approach, I’ve built governance frameworks and scaled teams to enable commercial discipline at global scale.
