Embracing Challenge Head On
Earlier, I was entrusted with the responsibility to lead the legal department, following my manager’s departure. The timing was critical—the company was going through a complex sales process, making external recruitment nearly impossible. Despite my limited experience at the time, I embraced the challenge head-on, balancing the demands of the role with my hard work, commitment, and collaboration. I pulled myself up and worked closely with the senior leadership team and ensured smooth workflows, aligned priorities, and maintained compliance.
