Skills

• Comfortable operating across a broad mandate — legal, compliance, corporate administration, HR, and technology — without needing the scope narrowed for you
• An enthusiastic adopter of technology, including AI-powered tools, with a track record of bringing new systems into organizations and making them stick
• Exceptionally organized with strong attention to detail — you catch what others miss and follow through without being asked
