I am an independent legal and governance advisor with a background spanning private practice and senior executive in-house leadership roles within listed international businesses.
I trained in private practice, specialising in corporate law and M&A, before moving into senior in-house roles where I built my career at the intersection of law, governance and business strategy.
Most recently, I served as General Counsel, Company Secretary and EVP Legal & Compliance at a publicly listed international platform business with listings on Euronext Amsterdam (AEX), NASDAQ and the London Stock Exchange. In this role, I was a member of the Executive Committee and reported directly to the Management Board.
In this capacity, I was closely involved in IPO processes, mergers and acquisitions, divestments and complex restructuring programs. I also advised management and supervisory boards on legal, governance and strategic matters, and built and led an international legal & compliance team supporting global operations.
This experience informs my advisory approach today, combining technical legal expertise with executive-level judgment and a practical understanding of how decisions are made and executed in complex organisations.
Current focus
I now work as an independent advisor supporting companies on strategic transactions, governance matters and interim leadership mandates.
My work is focused on providing senior legal capability where it is most needed — whether at board level, within executive teams, or as embedded support in complex projects.
My approach is pragmatic, discreet and commercially grounded. I focus on delivering clear, actionable advice that supports decision-making and execution in fast-moving, complex environments.
Clients engage me for senior legal and governance support where experience, judgment and immediate credibility are critical.
