How Shahin is building a better working world
“I believe contracts are the lifeblood of every organization. Unlocking the rich data locked within legal agreements using AI is now a strategic imperative for our clients. With the acceleration of AI and the agentic frontier, organizations are placing a sharp focus on strategic contract management, contract intelligence and contract intelligibility.
I deliver transformation and innovation without the disruption, supporting clients in reaching trusted AI-enabled outcomes utilizing enterprise legal managed services.
As well as building and leading diverse high-performance teams, I am passionate about uplifting social equity. Having been raised by a single-mother in public housing, I am privileged and humbled to be considered a role model to others. I share my unique perspective to drive change for greater inclusion, with a focus on the dimension of socio-economic background, as part of EY’s broader commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion for all of our people.”
