What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to leverage my contract management expertise.

I am a Commercial Contracts Professional with over 7 years of experience specializing in contract drafting, reviewing, redlining, negotiation, compliance, and end-to-end contract lifecycle management across various domains including SaaS, IT, and Pharmaceuticals. My expertise lies in leading cost-saving initiatives and improving contract compliance while collaborating with stakeholders to support business growth and maintain contract integrity.

In my previous role as Senior Legal Counsel at Casepoint, I managed the contract lifecycle for high-value SaaS products, overseeing an annual budget exceeding $5M. I successfully implemented the Ironclad CLM tool, which streamlined contract processes and enhanced compliance. My strategic negotiation skills led to significant savings of $750K and a 30% increase in our client base, demonstrating my ability to drive organizational success through effective contract management.
