About

With 8+ years of experience across telecom and satellite communications, I specialize in enabling new technologies through legal and regulatory expertise. I have helped businesses expand globally, primarily across Europe, APAC, and LATAM, providing guidance on compliance, market strategy, and regulatory alignment to navigate complex ICT landscapes. My experience also includes designing processes and leading capacity-building initiatives to strengthen organizations' anti-fraud and cybersecurity policies. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to influence discussions and decisions in national, regional, and international forums, working closely with regulators, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to shape the future of telecoms and satellite communications.
