My passion lies in the art of contract negotiation and mediation. I thrive when faced with intricate contractual matters, especially from the customer perspective of multinational corporations.
My goal is to protect our clients' interests while ensuring a fair resolution that minimizes any potential risks or liabilities, allowing our clients to master the challenges with confidence. With more than 20 years experience in the field, I have played a crucial role in facilitating smooth transitions from incumbent suppliers to new ones in complex outsourcing deals and ensuring seamless resourcing processes.
