What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a governance-focused role where I can lead multi-jurisdictional corporate secretarial work, strengthen board and shareholder compliance, and partner with legal and business teams on governance, risk & Compliance matters, and strategic corporate actions.

I’m a Qualified Corporate Secretary and Lawyer with nearly ten years of progressive experience across leading global conglomerates, including Damac Group, Landmark Group, and Tata Group. I specialize in Corporate Governance, Corporate Law, Risk and Compliance across multi-jurisdictional entities, with a focus on board and shareholder governance.

In my current role as Manager - Corporate Governance and Corporate Affairs, I incorporate and manage entities (LLCs, SPEs, SPVs, and private companies) across jurisdictions spanning Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Finland, Spain, Italy, Norway, BVI, USA, Greece, Portugal, and the UK. I oversee restructuring, mergers, acquisitions, and liquidations, and I manage complex corporate actions including share transfers, director changes, constitutional amendments, and board/shareholder resolutions.

Previously at The Landmark Group, I managed compliance for 150+ entities across 10 jurisdictions and supported governance through drafted resolutions, statutory registers, annual accounts, and timely regulatory filings. I also led cross-border corporate restructuring work, and conducted legal due diligence on partners, shareholders, and vendors while coordinating corporate actions with management and legal teams across jurisdictions.

At Tata Steel Long Products Limited, I managed major capital and corporate actions such as rights issues under the Fast-Track route, commercial paper issuance, mergers and amalgamations, acquisitions, and changes including name and registered office shifts—handling SEBI/RBI/Companies Act compliances end-to-end. I’m currently completing my ICSA CGI Chartered Secretary qualification (one paper remaining: Risk Management, November 2026) and I bring a strong practical edge through legal research, drafting, and compliance automation.
