About me

An already accomplished legal & compliance manager - years in startup shall be counted as "dog" years - I am looking for new challenges, either in Consulting or as team manager of an operational teams.

I am curious - as my trying to code this website proves - and in the end it allows me to always learn new things, and to find solutions.

Efficiency is key. I strive for the best possible resutls but think we should settle for the next best option if it works as fine, protects the company and the next one takes 15 more hours to achieve.

Finally, communication is essential : to argue my position, to explain to employees the "why", etc. I'm always available to answer questions or discuss issues.
