About me

Hi, I'm Parisabel, an Indonesian qualified lawyer with 9+ years of experience across the corporate, financial, environmental, and sustainability sectors.

Originally from Jakarta, I currently work at a Brussels-based legal tech company, providing Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) and Corporate Sustainability compliance solutions that help businesses adopt climate-friendly practices.

Outside of work, I've rediscovered my love for poker, yoga, and martial arts—hobbies I picked up in university but had to shelve during my law firm days. There's something liberating about having time for life beyond billable hours.

Through this platform, I'll share professional insights on carbon market regulations alongside personal stories about my career journey, from finding my purpose as a lawyer outside the conventional law firm path to navigating the transition from Jakarta to Brussels.

If any of this resonates with you, let's connect to share stories or brainstorm a project together!
