About Preethi Gopalakrishnan

I am a Head of Legal & Global PMO Leader with 12+ years of experience in IT services, product companies, and engineering corporations across global markets. I currently lead end-to-end legal and governance functions, covering corporate policy design, risk management, regulatory compliance, contract negotiation and management, employment law and dispute resolution, and strategic legal advisory. By partnering with CXOs and multinational stakeholders, I ensure that legal frameworks, governance models, and business objectives are aligned to enable growth while safeguarding organizational interests. My expertise includes: • Legal & Governance Leadership – in-house legal, contract management, IPR, Data Privacy and AI policy, and legal operations. • PMO & Business Support Functions – building, scaling, and optimizing global PMOs, global mobility, and market research teams. • Risk & Compliance – creating frameworks that balance risk mitigation with business agility. • Cross-Border Collaboration – working with stakeholders across industries and geographies. I have a proven track record of closing high-value, complex deals by aligning legal strategy with business priorities. My focus is on strengthening compliance frameworks, accelerating growth, and building stakeholder confidence at the leadership level.
