What do I bring to the table?

My expertise in a nutshell.

With over 15 years of professional experience, including 5 years in corporate finance consulting and over 10 years for law firms, I offer a unique mix of financial expertise and in-depth knowledge of law firm operations. My career began in Corporate Finance, where I gained valuable insights into M&A transactions and company evaluations. After moving into the legal sector, I managed billion-dollar mandates, handled budget control, and led the project management office for the VW emissions case for a highly renowned German law firm. I built and led a 15-person Managed Services team for a UK Magic Circle law firm, focusing on process optimization, team building, and establishing a sustainable profit center model. Most recently, I managed operations for 60-member formalities team in a european patent law firm, overseeing a transformation project spotlighting the conjunctions of operational system, workflows and competences.

Uniting all sides for real change.

In my various roles across full service business and patent law firms, I’ve learned to quickly adapt to all kinds of professional and cultural settings. Along the way, I’ve gained a full view of the challenges law firms face – from the daily hurdles ground-level teams encounter to the big-picture decisions that shape long-term growth. My work focuses on bringing everyone together so law firms can get the most out of transformation and thrive amid changing tech, regulations, and client demands. And yes, this requires the right tools and strategies, but above all, it needs two essential ingredients: professional project management and clear, effective communication. A supportive, collaborative culture is the only way people feel empowered to adapt, learn, grow, and navigate change with confidence. If there’s one thing I’m committed to bringing, it’s exactly that. I’m ready for today’s unique law firm challenges (and let’s just say, there’s no shortage!). I know how to make change stick – and bring real value along the way.
