About Evelyn D.

I’m a dynamic, multi-disciplinary professional with 14+ years of experience driving results across contract management, legal operations, business consulting, and specialized training. My career has taken me from negotiating complex contracts and overseeing legal compliance to reviving small businesses on the brink of closure and training elite police and military canines through a business I built from the ground up.I thrive on solving problems others consider too messy, too complex, or too far gone. Whether implementing CLM platforms like DocuSign, Salesforce, or Agiloft, or guiding franchise restaurants, healthcare clinics, and law firms back to profitability—I bring structure, empathy, and strategic thinking to everything I do.As a board-certified K9 behaviorist and nutritionist, and a hands-on business operator, I’ve learned to lead with both intuition and precision. I embrace challenges, love learning, and adapt quickly to new roles and industries. If it’s broken, I’ll fix it. If it’s inefficient, I’ll streamline it. And if there’s potential—I’ll build it.Tech/Tools & Platforms Hands-on Experience: Agiloft, DocuSign CLM, Salesforce, Conga, Ironclad, ViewPoint Cloud, Dynamics 365, Linksquares, Descartes, Altana, Luminate, iCustoms, SAP, MIC, LexisNexis, Workday, Concord, CobbleStone, Lexion, Confluence, Adobe Acrobat.
