Kurzprofil
Business lawyer and compliance professional with long-standing experience advising organisations in regulated environments on data handling, documentation standards, and audit and inspection readiness. In my current roles, I work at the intersection of operational teams, management, IT, external vendors, and auditors, serving as a central point of contact for questions around data quality, governance, and compliance. A large part of my day-to-day work focuses on how complex data is practically collected, reviewed, documented, controlled, audited, and ultimately relied upon. I regularly collaborate with specialist teams, helping translate regulatory and quality requirements into clear processes, usable documentation, and expectations that are both realistic and workable in practice.
