With over 15 years' experience as a general counsel in international companies in highly regulated industries and philanthropic sectors, combined with entrepreneurial ventures, I bring a strong business focus to all my endeavours.
As General Counsel and Legal Orchestrator at EIT Climate-KIC, Europe's leading climate innovation agency, I lead a team of international lawyers covering 13 jurisdictions in addressing legal, procurement, risk management and compliance challenges. My work supports cities, regions, countries and industries to achieve their climate goals through systems innovation and place-based transformation, managing complex, multi-country, multi-stakeholder projects.
I am an advisor to boards, senior management and executive teams, providing strategic guidance on critical business issues, particularly in times of complex transformation. My leadership is underpinned by building engaged, successful and motivated teams, growing relationships, advanced negotiation skills, clear communication and a proven track record of leading teams in regulated and critical business environments.
Outside of my corporate role, I am committed to pro bono work in the education sector. I am passionate about innovation, driven by a desire to tackle challenges with purpose and impact.
