About

General Counsel - Head of Legal - strategic business advisor. I am an experienced dynamic business-focussed legal advisor with over 20 years experience in top tier law firms and in-house legal in multi-national companies. Almost 13 years of this time I have been advising C-Suite executives in the FMCG industry in Australia, Asia Pacific and internationally. My key achievements include significant regulatory and governance compliance work (with direct involvement with various regulators), general commercial work including major capital projects and strategic acquisition projects dealing with complex competition and commercial aspects as well as building commercially-minded and cooperative legal teams. I consider myself as an 'enabler' and trusted advisor and am passionate about assisting business leaders with executing their strategic goals. My strengths are my multi-faceted industry experience, excellent technical and interpersonal skills all of which enable me to create and shape practical solutions to often complex legal issues aligned with the business' strategic goals.
