About
In my role leading Global Compliance Operations, Automation & AI Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, I drive compliance with export-control, AI, anti-corruption, antitrust, customs, and data privacy regulations for an $18B+ multinational business across 137 legal entities and 25+ jurisdictions.
I keep the program focused on risk prevention, business efficiency, fast turnarounds, automation, and cost savings. Effective compliance is critical for a company of any size — and it comes from the right skill set, not headcount.

Life
Beyond my professional life, I am a proud mom to my daughter, Maria — my greatest adventure and my most meaningful partnership.
Together we have traveled around the world, exploring cultures, learning from every place we visit, and building memories that shape how we see the world. Those journeys taught us that the strongest connections are built through curiosity, openness, and honest conversation.
Podcast
Mindful Talks
Strengthening connections between parents and kids.
Maria and I created Mindful Talks to open up real conversations between parents and children — sharing our experiences, perspectives, and the lessons we learn along the way. It is a space for listening, understanding, and growing together.

I am open to conversations on compliance transformation, career development coaching, mindful parenting, or building meaningful connections — professionally and personally.
