Biography

I am a senior leader and litigator with over 25 years of experience in commercial, competition and financial litigation and dispute resolution. For the past 14 years, my roles have spanned Partner, Practice Head and Managing Partner in a dynamic and entrepreneurial international boutique litigation firm where I spearheaded the creation and expansion of the Commercial Disputes practice and was the driving force behind the firm’s expansion into Spain and Portugal. As a senior leader, I guided others through significant transition and crisis, including the pandemic and the “Great Resignation.” These challenges required embracing new more flexible ways of working, fostering collaboration, and addressing conflicting workplace needs during times of profound uncertainty. I have experienced first-hand the importance of alignment with purpose in a happy career and believe that a strong sense of purpose and meaning in work endeavours is ultimately one of the greatest drivers of career satisfaction. These experiences have inspired my studies in Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching where I aim to help individuals and teams align with purpose, unlock their potential, and navigate change and crisis with clarity and confidence.
