General Counsel & Corporate Secretary

The true value of a Legal, Compliance and Risk Management function lies in being present before a risk becomes a problem, and in bringing clarity when decisions matter most.

I am a legal leader with executive experience in Legal Strategy, Compliance, Corporate Governance, Corporate Secretary duties, and enterprise risk management. As a bilingual Senior Attorney specialised in Administrative Law, I have built my career advising organisations and senior leadership teams on strategic decision-making.

I have led corporate compliance programs aligned with international standards and parent-company requirements, including SAGRILAFT, SARLAFT, PTEE, FCPA, corporate ethics, data protection, and internal control systems.

I have also actively participated in Executive Committees and Boards of Directors, gaining first-hand insight into the importance of aligning legal strategy with business priorities.

My leadership approach is built on three principles: anticipate, connect, and act. Anticipate risks before they impact the business. Connect the legal perspective with the reality of the organisation. Act with sound judgment, timeliness, and business acumen.

I am at ease in environments that demand confidentiality, executive judgment, strong negotiation skills, and high-level decision-making.

I am particularly interested in contributing to organisations that view Law, Compliance, and Corporate Governance not merely as control mechanisms, but as tools to build stronger, more responsible, and sustainable businesses
