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 Operating Officer I’m responsible for a range of functions including people & culture, finance, legal and compliance... but I still 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.
