Skills
Summary
I am an experienced general counsel and legal division leader with deep specialization in strategic transactions/M&A, venture capital, corporate governance/corporate secretary functions, global equity compensation, and public securities. I have successfully scaled several in-house legal departments to reflect rapid enterprise transformation in terms of revenue acceleration, global geographic and headcount expansion, and enterprise reorganization. I am adept at structuring and negotiating complex transactions and implementing simple and efficient processes that strike the right balance between business and legal considerations. I have handled the full complement of general counsel responsibilities including managing legal professionals and legal budgets, supporting a revenue generating business function, overseeing commercial contracts, intellectual property, employment, privacy, real estate and marketing legal support, and managing litigation.
