I am ...

... an experienced business person, lawyer and accredited mediator. I’m pragmatic, ethical and strive for harmony — real harmony, that sometimes needs to be fought for, not the “smile and brush problems under the carpet” kind. I’m probably a little outspoken, too — but you can’t afford to be a shrinking violet in today’s world.

I have honed my skills working as in-house counsel for various multinationals, as well as with startups and SMEs. This has meant plenty of travel which, in turn, has given me a rare understanding of how to bridge legal and cultural differences across countries and continents. Working with a diverse set of clients gives me an insiders’ view of the legal and ethical challenges facing businesses of all types and sizes.

And when I’m not doing any of that, I’m a parent, DIY enthusiast, gardener, runner, hiker and skier.
