I am skilled in strategic thinking, leadership under pressure, and adapting to evolving challenges. I have a keen ability to anticipate and navigate complex or unforeseen legal and operational issues, including high-value contractual relationships. With over 25 years of experience in law, operations, and business management, I bring a unique balance of strategic judgment, compliance insight, and operational leadership to every role. Furthermore, as a tech-savvy JD and an MBA, I help organizations analyze their processes, strengthen their risk management, policy development, and contract governance through structured processes, technology, and practical compliance frameworks.

My background spans both private corporations and government environments, along with managerial leadership in legal operations, contract management, and compliance. I have directed large and small teams of diverse individuals, streamlined workflows, and implemented process improvements that increase efficiency, mitigate risk, and align operations with business and regulatory objectives. For a detailed early legal-career background (historical), see this page.

My focus is on building a career that puts my skills to meaningful use — creating work that is thoughtful, measurable, and impactful. As a result, I bring a level of insight and perspective that comes from hard-won experience, consistent effort, and a commitment to moving forward with purpose.

I’m particularly skilled in:

• Compliance and Risk Management – analyzing, designing, and improving workflows and systems to ensure organizational accountability, reduce litigation, maximize technology benefits, and enhance efficiency; and
• Contracts and Negotiation – drafting, analyzing, enforcing, and optimizing legal and commercial agreements to ensure the prosperity of the business and continue relationships; and
• Legal Operations & Policy – legal research and analysis of complex regulations for businesses and commercial environments to ensure compliance, maximize standardization and policies, and audit implementation & enforcement.
