I'm a consultant at Shoosmiths, helping clients unlock legal operations excellence through Shoosmiths EIGHT—our connected services platform. I bring a strategic lens to transformation, drawing on deep experience in-house and in consultancy to deliver change that sticks.

Before joining Shoosmiths, I led legal and regulatory teams at major financial institutions, advising boards and executive committees on risk, governance and performance. I've built and reshaped high-performing teams, combining legal rigour with operational know-how to drive results.

I'm a regular contributor to industry conversations on legal operations and transformation, and I remain actively engaged in shaping best practice across the sector.
