I am a South African qualified solicitor as well as English qualified solicitor who started my legal career in Cape Town where I worked for 5 years as a criminal defence lawyer.
I have been based in London for the past 20 years and have worked as in-house solicitor for the Reed Group of Companies for the last 15years. I advise the Reed Group on a wide range of commercial matters.
Since October 2018, I have also taken over as DPO for all the Reed Group Companies in the UK as well as in the EU where I advise on all things data related.
