Happy New Year + highlights from our Amsterdam legal dinner ✨

Happy New Year, folks!

Wishing you a great start to 2026.

I always feel my career turns a corner when I go to Amsterdam and the trip late last year was no different.

At the end of November, I was getting ready to welcome guests to a premium legal dinner I co-hosted in Amsterdam with Anne Graue and Maria Cara. 🇳🇱

What followed was an entire evening of connection and honest conversation with a diverse group of forward-thinking European in-house legal leaders.

Irish, Dutch, German, English, Greek, French, South African, Brazilian, Austrian, Ukrainian… united in our innovative mindsets and openness.

That was the theme of the trip really, and why I came home full of fresh ideas, confidence and connections.

If you’re ever feeling stuck - cast the net wider.

Get on a plane and go somewhere cool and chat to likeminded people from different backgrounds about shared interests.

You’re one conversation away from the next big thing! 💜

A very special thank you to everyone who joined us - the energy in the room was exceptional and it was the perfect way to conclude events for 2025.

Wishing you all a smooth start to the year - take care of yourselves as things pick up!

I’m hosting a series of premium dinners across European cities this year for forward-thinking, in-house legal leaders just like this one in Amsterdam.

I’d love to hear from you 💜
