With over 10 years of experience in marketing, business development, and product management, I currently lead and execute strategic initiatives for IESE Business School's international network. I develop and implement marketing plans, content, and sales activities for the school's global programs, strategic initiatives, key communities, and partnerships. I also manage and mentor a team of three direct reports, and engage with c-suite executives and public institutions to strengthen the alumni network and to increase awareness of IESE's strategic goals. My long-term goal is to advance in a role that leverages my passion for innovation, problem solving, technology, and consumer experience. I have a diverse and rich background in various industries, such as FMCG, luxury, higher education, and entrepreneurship. I hold an MBA from IESE Business School and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. I also completed international exchange programs at HEC Paris and Strathmore Business School in Nairobi. I have worked and lived in different regions within APAC and EMEA. I speak English, Filipino, and Spanish.

I help my clients create and negotiate clear, plain English contracts so they can achieve great project outcomes. If you are in the construction, engineering or consulting space and you hate dealing with your legals, I will take that frustration off your hands. I am a contract lawyer. I founded SoundLegal because I love navigating legal and commercial puzzles to help achieve the best project outcome. I translate complex contractual and commercial principles into plain English. My strengths are in drafting and reviewing contracts and preparing contract clarifications at tender stage. I deliver advice that ensures my clients, their clients and their suppliers and subcontractors understand exactly where everyone stands. I've drafted and reviewed thousands of design services and consulting agreements, construction contracts and other commercial and legal documents. I'm at ease drafting contract templates and terms and conditions, as well as amendments for all of the Australian Standard form contracts. My experience negotiating public and private sector contracts across large-scale engineering, construction, infrastructure and consulting projects stands me in good stead to advise and represent a broad spectrum of businesses, from SMEs to large corporates. I was an in-house lawyer for 8 years, so I know exactly what it is like to be client-side and need targeted, practical legal advice. I love demystifying contract and legal concepts in face-to-face workshops. I regularly facilitate contract law and risk management workshops at AIMWA and develop and present in-house training to sales, procurement and commercial teams. 12 years in the construction industry has provided me with war stories galore.
