Michael Freire Lopes

A contract management professional with over 20 years of experience in technological, industrial, and international environments, I assist companies in securing and optimizing their high-value strategic contracts.

I am involved in the entire contractual lifecycle: structuring models, negotiating complex contracts (IT, services, SaaS, projects), risk management, execution monitoring, and supporting operational and commercial teams. My approach is resolutely pragmatic and business-oriented, with the goal of streamlining operations while protecting the company's interests.

Accustomed to demanding contexts and tight deadlines, I frequently provide support for specific needs, interim management, or transition missions, particularly for:

• absorbing peaks in contractual activity,

• securing strategic deals,

• structuring or upgrading contract management practices,

• supporting complex or international projects.

I have held positions as Contract Manager, Legal Counsel, and Head of Legal within international groups (IT services, software publishers, major projects, sports & events), interacting constantly with business, purchasing, finance, and general management.

Available quickly, I integrate easily into teams and am operational from day one.
