What I'm looking for
I've led legal functions at METRO AEBE, KORRES Natural Products, Intrum, Piraeus Bank, and UNI-PHARMA & INTERMED, advising on commercially focused corporate, regulatory, banking, pharmaceutical, data protection, and employment matters. I negotiate complex agreements, guide governance and compliance, and manage disputes and external counsel.
