New York–licensed attorney with more than fifteen years of experience in senior in-house legal leadership roles at a Fortune 500 multinational corporation, advising business executives on cross-border transactions, regulatory compliance, and commercial operations across the United States, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
Former Vice President & General Counsel at Colgate-Palmolive, where I partnered with executive leadership, compliance, finance, and operational teams to support complex commercial agreements, organisational matters, third-party relationships, and regional regulatory frameworks in highly regulated and emerging markets. My work consistently involved aligning legal judgment with business strategy while managing risk across multi-jurisdictional environments.
I bring deep experience operating within large, matrixed organisations, developing and implementing internal policies and procedures, and providing practical, business-focused legal guidance that enables growth while maintaining compliance at scale.
