I have built a broad portfolio of experience working in the UK, Southeast Asia and Africa, both in employed and consultant positions with NGOs, government and the private sector. My work portfolio includes positions in leadership, management, technical and strategic advisory. I have an LL.M in Law and Economics and a MA in Systems Leadership and Organisational Analysis. I am also a visiting professor on the subject of business and human rights. I am a conscientious, compassionate and contemplative advocate who integrates both analytical and intuitive faculties. I am known to be perceptive, articulate and dedicated to the purpose of my endeavours.
