Tell us a bit about yourself and your experience
I’m a lawyer with a passion for figuring out ways to do legal work better, which is why I now find myself as part of the Xakia team after being a customer for many years.
I’ve had a private practice and in-house legal career. In private practice, I was an M&A lawyer in international law firms and spent time in London, Moscow and Sydney. In-house, I was the Deputy General Counsel & Group Company Secretary at Coca-Cola Amatil and Group General Counsel & Company Secretary at Blackmores.
I joined Xakia in April 2022 and as Chief Product Officer, I’m responsible for a range of functions including people & culture, finance, legal, compliance and of course, the Xakia legal matter management software solution. I love helping in-house legal teams do legal stuff better!
Fun fact about you
I’ve been on a nuclear submarine in the Arctic circle. ☃️
Do you have any hidden talents most people don't know about?
I have 3 kids – the oldest of which is 7 – so I’m developing a strong game when it comes to dad jokes. Although since I’ve joined Xakia I’ve noticed strong competition in the form of our Head of Sales APAC, Paul Wyatt.
