As a Georgetown Law and Harvard Kennedy School graduate, I have enjoyed a remarkable career spanning over 30 years, as I progressed from an accomplished corporate attorney at one of the leading law firms in the world (practicing M&A, Corporate and Project Finance, and Energy industry transactions) to a reliable and accountable General Counsel and Compliance Executive, leading, high profile teams within multi national firms that were pursuing aggressive growth and challenging traditional business models. I’m tested, proven and among the best as a legal confident and business strategy advisor, as well as a seasoned and on hands negotiator. Employers and lawyers on the other side have recognized and relied on my strengths in: leading project teams that usually include members from diverse professional fields; drafting legal, financial, securities, regulatory and other specialized documents; developing balanced and easily understood presentations for Boards of Directors and host governments, litigation materials for outside counsel, and company compliance materials that are easy to understand and follow. I have developed my skills as a team leader and executive collaborator by building on past missteps and always focusing on doing better than the past. I retain and lead the best professionals to ensure success on every front. Relying on my good counsel, Directors, senior management, and direct reports alike feel confident and well advised on legal, practical business and reputation risks alike. Their confidence and comfort with my work is based on measurable success in how I complete complex acquisitions, divestitures, finance transactions and restructurings and my practical approach to early conclusion of multi-jurisdictional disputes.
