I provide strategic advice to in-house legal functions on transformation initiatives, including through current state assessments, organisational design, service delivery model evaluation, process improvement, legal technology selection, and AI adoption.

As a lawyer with an MBA and 15 years of experience spanning private practice, in-house legal leadership, and management consulting, I bring a uniquely practical and commercial lens to legal transformation. I have advised clients across APAC, North America, and Europe in sectors including financial services, healthcare, real estate, and government. My cross-functional experience enables me to help in-house legal teams not only optimise how they operate but also elevate their strategic value within the business.
