I joined Unilever 4 years ago, first at General Counsel for the Global Categories (Personal Care, Homecare, Food, Refreshment), the Global Marketing teams, and the Global Intellectual Property expertise group.
I am now in charge of European legal matters, and have taken the lead for global e-commerce, retail, digital marketing and privacy matters.
Prior to joining Unilever, I was Head of Legal for the UK & Ireland for Nestle. I was also Chair of the Compliance Committee and Trustee Director of the pension fund. Most of my career has been with the Nestle Group first as Legal Counsel for the Latin American and North American regions, then Legal Counsel – Mergers and Acquisitions, and joint ventures.
Before Nestle, I worked as an associate in a Montreal, Canada law firm in the corporate team.
I have a Bachelor in Law and a Masters in Law from the University of Montreal, Canada and am admitted to the Quebec Bar. I am also admitted to the Law Society of England and Wales.
I am originally from Canada but have been living abroad for over 20 years in total. I have two daughters. I enjoy travelling, art and music, skiing.
