I turn strategy into operating reality — programmes delivered, operating models redesigned, and the systems that make the change stick.

Implementation ownership

Confident to own an intake build and CLM rollout end-to-end — templates, intake logic, approval workflows and permissions, playbooks, fallback language and clause libraries — with self-service contracting, legal-review gates and full post-signature auditability, wired over REST/JSON and webhooks into executive dashboards for matter volumes, SLA performance, privacy-risk trends and compliance readiness. I have scoped exactly this kind of rollout: a Streamline intake build and a Juro CLM rollout, with Catylex clause enrichment across ServiceNow, OneTrust and Close. Governing it was a multi-jurisdiction privacy matrix — EU, UK, US, Australia and New Zealand, with EU AI Act role analysis — that maps every data flow to its controlling regime before a record moves. The same regime-by-regime structure extends to the Swiss FADP (nFADP), with its Swiss-specific divergences, for a Geneva deployment.

Confidentiality, AI & jurisdictions

All portfolio data here is synthetic or public. In client work I operate on least privilege, keep privileged material out of third-party models unless contractually cleared, and gate every automated workflow behind human review — legal professional privilege and data-protection duties sit above delivery speed.

For the record: not a litigator, and not a production software engineer — a legal & operations leader who builds working tools to a professional standard, and knows exactly where that line sits.

Research

My research sits where international law, economic security and computational method meet. My LL.M. dissertation, “Economic Warfare: The Unregulated War” (awarded 100%), argues that economic warfare — cyber-economic aggression, financial terrorism and the strategic manipulation of markets — has become a favoured mode of conflict for state and non-state actors alike, increasingly waged through third-party proxies that evade legal accountability. It shows why instruments such as the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 and the Magnitsky Act, though significant, are too narrow and too slow, and proposes the UK Economic Warfare Prevention and Response Act (UK-EWPRA): a deliberately adaptable legislative architecture — UK-anchored but globally extensible — designed to keep pace with algorithmic and cyber warfare.

Doctoral direction (in development). Following the dissertation I was invited to pursue doctoral research (economic & cyber warfare), and am developing my own project on the regulation of AI — building on my work on AI as an autonomous third-party actor — written in Geneva alongside professional work. It is the next step beyond the private military companies and proxies of my dissertation: systems that can act, and cause harm, at arm's length from any accountable principal. My argument is that the answer is not only reinterpreting existing international law, but small, modular internal policies that many states can adopt quickly — in the spirit of the Magnitsky Act — so regulation moves at the speed of the technology it governs.
