General Counsel for international fintech. Lending, payments, crypto.
What I do for you
When there's no obvious legal route to the product or structure you want to build, I design one that works and survives scrutiny.
In fintech, regulatory compliance is half the valuation. A business that isn't compliant is worth almost nothing. I build or audit the legal function so it runs as a service to the business and protects that value.
Real work, real numbers. Each opens the full story.
Thirteen years in fintech, four regions.
Legal, governance, and compliance at board level for a holding investing in tech across MENA, EU, and LatAm. 300+ people, multiple jurisdictions.
Led the legal function through exits, due diligence, and licensing across the group.
Founded and ran a fintech legal boutique. 50+ clients across CIS, EU, and SEA. Built and led a 10-lawyer team.
Lending, payments, collections, and bankruptcy at bank scale.
Building something in fintech that the lawyers say can't be done? Start there.
