“Not every issue is urgent, not every risk is existential, and not every escalation requires immediate reaction.”
I’m a multilingual Legal & Commercial Counsel with 10+ years of in-house experience across telecom, renewable energy, advertising, and infrastructure sectors. I specialise in negotiating complex contracts (EPC, commercial, and licensing), managing regulatory risk, and aligning legal strategy with business growth.
Currently, I lead contract negotiations and compliance for Huawei’s solar and enterprise business units in Iberia. I hold CCMP certification from World Commerce & Contracting and have a strong academic and practical foundation in European legal systems.
Fluent in Portuguese and English, with professional proficiency in Spanish and Italian, I thrive in fast-paced, cross-border environments where legal risk and innovation intersect.
