My Story<\/strong><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

I was born in Kuala Lumpur and came to England 34 years ago to study for the Bar. The plan was simple: qualify, return home, start a career. Then I met my husband, plans changed. That\u2019s been a recurring theme in my life: the unexpected shaping the meaningful.<\/p>\n

My career never followed a straight path. I worked through every stage: legal secretary during my law degree, retail shifts during Bar school, practising lawyer while completing my Master\u2019s. I chose to start a family before climbing the career ladder, which meant hitting milestones later than my peers. But that also gave me something you can\u2019t get from a conventional trajectory: perspective, patience, and a deep sense of priorities.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always seen myself as a businessperson who happens to know the law. That\u2019s why I chose in-house roles over private practice. I wanted to be near the heart of decisions, where value is created (and sometimes lost). For two decades, I specialised in technology law: vendor agreements, compliance frameworks, and global contracts worth over \u00a3100\u202fmillion.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\u00a0And everywhere I went, I saw the same pattern. Contracts perfectly negotiated\u2026but poorly managed after signature. Missed renewals. Unenforced terms. Obligations buried in inboxes. Organisations quietly losing 8\u201315\u202f% of contract value without realising it.<\/p>\n

In 2019, I completed an LLM in IT Law with research on AI liability that went on to win academic recognition, positioning me years ahead of today\u2019s AI conversation. Five years later, after a 70\u2011hour ordeal consolidating a contract with 61 separate amendments, I decided enough was enough. That moment sparked Consolidocs<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, the solution I wish had existed throughout my career.<\/p>\n

Today, I divide my time between building that solution and helping others understand why contracts fail and how to fix them. I speak, write, and advise because I\u2019ve lived this problem for decades! and because I believe real progress starts when we talk honestly about what\u2019s hard, not just what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n

Life is too interesting to be just about contracts and companies.<\/p>\n

I love to cook and entertain. There’s something deeply satisfying about bringing people together around food and watching conversations unfold. I dance whenever I get the chance. It’s one of those things that makes everything else make sense.<\/p>\n

I have what my family diplomatically calls a “penchant for speed.” Cars, planes, if it goes fast, I’m interested. Right now, I’m learning to fly a Cessna 152. At 60. Because why not?<\/p>\n

I’m also learning French, which is humbling in the best way. Fluency feels impossibly far away, but I love the process of getting incrementally less terrible at something.<\/p>\n

These aren’t hobbies that balance work, they’re part of who I am. You can’t be interesting if work is all you do, and you can’t solve interesting problems if you don’t live an interesting life.<\/p>\n
