As an accomplished corporate attorney, my goal is to bring the legal department to the strategic planning table. With deep experience in both in-house and law firm positions, I act as a true business partner to C-Suite leadership. By driving early engagement with critical business decisions and removing bureaucratic roadblocks, I have empowered companies to achieve unprecedented revenue growth, launch successful public offerings, and engineer mergers and acquisitions that add value on all sides.When I’m not representing the company in major negotiations, I make myself visible to everyone who can use legal support. My ultra-responsive approach means that I never leave an email unread, manage multiple projects against aggressive deadlines, and constantly look for ways to improve the quality of our deliverables. Being part of the company’s on-the-ground mission and doing my part to make a meaningful difference is important to me.My Strengths:✔ MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS: Before I joined Syneos Health, I worked on multibillion-dollar M&A deals in a large private practice law firm. This experience enabled me to orchestrate a massive merger (Syneos Health & inVentiv Health) in 2017. My contributions included leading the entire due diligence effort and serving as a core member of the integration team.✔ EMPOWERING BUSINESS GROWTH: I keep my finger on the pulse of the business’s strategic priorities and future plans. I draw on superior negotiation skills and a drive for process improvement to accelerate growth, capture real efficiencies, and reduce our operating costs. The result: happy, thriving teams and a stronger bottom line.✔ EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP: I also add value by building and leading strong legal teams. During my company’s expansion from five attorneys in 2012 to over 40 today, I discovered a passion for mentoring our associates and creating new opportunities for professional growth. Seeing my direct reports excel and achieve promotions is my greatest reward.
