Tahiti Sengupta Dutta is a global contract expert with over 15 years of experience managing complex cross-border negotiations in telecom, IT, and finance. Currently based in Málaga, Spain, she leads contract operations at Advantage Communications Group, driving the setup of a new international ISP while ensuring compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

Her career spans across India, the UK, EU, and the Middle East, with previous leadership roles at HSBC, SAP, and DXC Technology. A first-generation lawyer, Tahiti discovered her passion for corporate contracting early in her career, choosing boardrooms over courtrooms.

Blending business acumen with legal precision, she has mastered the art of aligning legal and commercial goals. Beyond her professional excellence, Tahiti embodies the spirit of Kaizen — continuous improvement, championing process clarity, people training, and automation in contract lifecycle management (CLM). Her recent certification in ESG from UAMI reflects her forward-thinking approach to sustainable contracting.

Outside the legal world, Tahiti is a fitness enthusiast, avid traveler, and culinary explorer — embracing Spain’s vibrant culture while staying rooted in her Bengali traditions.

Tahiti’s journey from Kolkata to Málaga is a story of courage, reinvention, and global leadership. A law graduate and first-generation professional, she carved her path in corporate law through resilience and adaptability.

From her early projects with U.S. clients to leading high-stakes negotiations across Europe and the Middle East, she mastered how cultural nuances shape contract outcomes. Her expertise evolved with technology — from manually abstracting 60-page contracts to leading AI-driven automation in CLM.

Throughout her career, Tahiti credits her mentors — Shailendra, Nasee Nelson, Hemant Gopal, and Pradeep Pankar — for shaping her perspective on leadership and automation. Her current role involves managing the legal framework for a new ISP entity, a challenge she likens to a “multiverse of compliance,” blending telecom regulation, privacy laws, and financial frameworks.

Her personal ethos? Build trust through collaboration, lead with empathy, and never stop learning.

  • She outlined how contract abstraction and obligation tracking form the foundation of risk management and revenue protection.
  • Tahiti unpacked her approach to aligning legal with business goals, reframing legal teams as enablers of growth, not gatekeepers.

  • Her cross-border negotiation stories highlighted how adapting to regional laws and mindsets shapes success.
  • Tahiti reflected on her mentors’ influence and the importance of continuous learning and people training in legal transformation.
  • Personally, she spoke about leaving a senior counsel role at HSBC to move to Spain, supported by her husband’s global career.
  • She shared her love for travel, fitness, and cooking, with signature dishes like dal makhani and payesh connecting her to her Bengali roots.
  • Her travel recommendations for Spain go beyond Barcelona — encouraging exploration of the northern and Atlantic coasts for their unmatched beauty.
  • In her reflective moments, she spoke about her Trishakti — faith, her husband, and her mother — the three powers that keep her grounded.
  • She described herself as “tough on the outside, emotional and fragile inside,” blending strength with empathy.
  • Her advice to young lawyers: learn foreign languages to truly work across borders and embrace technology early.
