Experience

  • THINKPROJECT
    Regional Legal Counsel and Head of Contracts EMEA/ANZ
    January 2025 - January 2026 (1 year)
    I partner with global SaaS organizations to accelerate revenue, de-risk growth, and close complex enterprise deals — without slowing the business down.

    In today’s environment, large SaaS companies operate under intense pressure:

    Drive predictable ARR and Net Revenue Retention

    Shorten sales cycles while protecting margins

    Scale globally with consistent contracting frameworks

    Navigate regulatory complexity (data, AI, cross-border compliance)

    Enable Sales — without becoming a bottleneck

    This is where I create impact.

    What I Bring to Large SaaS Organizations

    Revenue Enablement through Strategic Deal Structuring
    I work at the intersection of Sales, Legal, and Executive Leadership to frame and negotiate complex, multi-jurisdiction enterprise SaaS, licensing, and cloud agreements. My focus is not just risk mitigation — but enabling revenue while protecting long-term value.

    Enterprise-Level Negotiation Leadership
    I have led and trained global sales teams in structuring and negotiating high-value, time-sensitive technology deals with Fortune 500 corporations and public sector entities. I bring clarity in high-pressure negotiations and unlock deadlocked discussions through strategic framing.

    Scalable Contracting & Risk Governance
    As SaaS companies scale, consistency and predictability matter. I help design contracting strategies that:

    Protect recurring revenue streams

    Anticipate compliance risks (data privacy, AI, cloud, cross-border transfers)

    Balance customer demands with long-term profitability

    Support global expansion without fragmentation

    Business-First Legal Advisory

    My approach is commercially grounded. I translate legal complexity into actionable business decisions — helping leadership evaluate trade-offs between growth, risk, speed, and margin.
