I am an accomplished contracts management professional with 10 years of experience in the legal business and legal technology services sectors. I have hands-on experience in contract drafting, contract negotiation, contract lifecycle management, open-source license compliance, and many other legal business services and legal technology projects. I bring a proven ability to manage high-volume contract projects while collaborating across teams to deliver results in line with company policy and client expectations.
