WORK HISTORY
Chief Counsel @DS Smith
As Chief Counsel, Procurement at DS Smith, I lead the legal strategy for all procurement activities, ensuring robust contract management, risk mitigation and regulatory compliance across our extensive supply chain. I provide pragmatic legal advice on high-priority contracts, supplier relationships and risk mitigation strategies, while offering strategic guidance on broader business matters. I am passionate about leading, developing and mentoring a dedicated legal team that empowers our procurement function. My role is focused on identifying key legal and commercial risks across the function and supply chain, ensuring these are mitigated through robust controls, guidelines and training. I focus on maintaining an effective, consistent and coordinated approach to legal compliance across the entire supply chain, always delivering timely advice that meets commercial needs through sound judgement and pragmatic risk-based decisions. Collaborating with internal and cross functional colleagues, alongside proactive management of external law firm relationships to balance budgets, is key to my approach.
