I am a Senior Associate at BTS&Partners, active in IT law matters; namely, privacy, personal data protection, intellectual property, consumer protection, e-commerce and FinTech. In addition to compliance and legal counselling, I lead the IT contract management & regulatory assessment services in connection with due diligence projects for numerous technology-related matters. I am deeply interested in and work on developing technologies, software and new business models. Lastly, my academic works are mostly focused on benchmarking projects with EU acquis and digitalization.
Fun Fact: I enjoy traveling and outdoor activities. My favourite one was climbing to the Chefchaouen's waterfalls in Morocco (after being extremely lost). As a matter of fact, my first job was assisting tour guides for French tourists. Also, I am really good at pretending to like Pilates & most of my physical activities include my super energetic Jack Russell.
