Legal Operations leader who loves turning chaos into clarity and building the structure that lets high-growth companies move fast without breaking things. I’ve owned the end-to-end legal operations function; from intake and triage design to metrics, tooling, and cross-functional alignment with Sales, Finance, Security, and Compliance. I’ve led company-wide implementations of tools like Ironclad CLM, taking them from process design and workflow configuration through rollout, training, and long-term optimization, with a big focus on adoption and usability (not just “turning it on” and hoping for the best). Whether I’m mapping a messy process, operationalizing a new compliance requirement, or getting buy-in on a new way of working, I bring a strategic mindset, a “get it done” attitude, and what I like to call being pleasantly persistent. I’m candid, collaborative, and focused on making sure Legal & Compliance is not just a gatekeeper, but a true business partner that helps the organization hit its biggest goals. My sweet spot is sitting at the intersection of legal, data, and operations: aligning legal ops with business strategy while making sure the right work is prioritized, risks are managed thoughtfully, and the day-to-day actually runs smoothly.
