Strategic legal executive with a passion for building high-performing teams, navigating complex regulatory landscapes, and driving business growth through sound legal counsel. I currently serve as Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, where I support executive teams and board in navigating governance, compliance, and strategic decision-making. I’ve been fortunate to work alongside talented professionals and mentors who’ve shaped my approach to legal leadership. I bring a modern, business-minded approach to legal leadership—grounded in integrity, collaboration, and results. Always open to learning from others and sharing ideas at the intersection of law, leadership, and business.
