She will be based in LISCR’s New York office, from where she can expand the LISCR global team and bring the Liberian Registry closer to the international legal community in general, and to the New York legal market in particular.

“I am thrilled to be joining the Liberian Registry, which has consistently been one of the most reputable ship and corporate registries in the world for more than 70 years. I also welcome the opportunity to work with the legal community, both internationally and domestically, and to help ensure that the Liberian Registry continues to provide first-class expertise to the wide variety of stakeholders who rely on its services,” she commented.
