I build legal operations systems that streamline compliance, vendor onboarding, and global workflows.

Message

I'm driving legal operations and compliance systems at Valvoline Global Operations, leading implementation of case, disclosure, and due diligence platforms while overseeing outside counsel and vendor invoicing.

I've delivered measurable operational results across CloudKitchens, GitLab, and private firms, including $3MM in potential savings, $500K in annual cost savings, a 90% reduction in contract errors, and 25% faster matter closure.

I bring eight years of experience connecting legal, HR, and business teams through workflow design, technology integrations, documentation, and global compliance programs.
