About

The day job: building Legora for APJ is an honour and a privilege. From the ground up, this is the ride of a lifetime in an industry that is full of smart people, making waves. Lets go change the future of law. __________ The side passion: as a Startmate Investor I am open to meeting founders as they begin their pre seed and seed journeys and hope to be able to provide value on your journey - if you have an awesome idea- let’s talk. __________ The person behind it: a passionate commercial leader who has led teams across APJ and UKI, in Legal Tech, Cyber and CX. Outside of work, I love being a mum and spend as much time with my family barefoot and outside.
