*********

In my early career I worked in several marketing and sales roles in small businesses before founding a marketing agency, gaining recognition in "The South African" for entrepreneurship.

In 2019, I was honoured to be invited to lecture students at a top US University on the subject of social media marketing and drafting best practices.

In 2020 I swapped my marketing agency cap for a legal one and embarked on a quest with Geneva's "Digilegal", transforming it from a mere scribble on a napkin to a full-blown LegalTech success story, as project manager.

Fast-forward to 2022, I sold my company and completed a 17 week business fundamentals program (CORe) at Harvard Business School to further my understanding and theoretical application of core business principles. The program consisted of 3 courses - Business Analytics, Economics for Managers, and Financial Accounting, with a final exam.

I then moved into the UK legal field, where I gained valuable experience at executive level at award-winning national charities/education firm Stone King LLP. This was followed by a career move to top global insurance firm Clyde & Co LLP, where I was responsible for executing complex high-value pitches in the Corporate and Disputes practices.

Today, I am proud to advise the Energy & Infrastructure practice at Linklaters LLP. 

Linklaters is seen as the “go to” for the world’s top energy and natural resources corporates, governments, regulatory bodies and investors.

We value collaboration, creativity, and excellence in all that we do.
