I am deeply passionate about building great companies, engaging cultures, and high-performing teams from the ground-up. I thrive on growing organizations authentically, solving challenging problems, and connecting people with their sense of purpose. As a business leader and corporate counsel, I creatively develop successful outcomes while balancing both the business needs and legal side of issues. My career has provided me with diverse exposure to various business functions, disciplines, and areas of law. I hold more than 15 years of legal and business operations experience helping organizations structure growth, build transferable value, and manage more efficiently through financial metrics. Through advice and counsel to banks and middle market business owners, I have been at the front lines leading strategic planning, corporate structuring and governance, business delivery strategies, data privacy and technology, mergers and acquisitions.At Finagraph, a financial technology start-up, I lead as a corporate officer and member of the executive leadership team to oversee all legal, operations, finance, HR, and IT functions. I pride myself on leveraging the core values, operating principles, and mission of Finagraph’s corporate culture as well as advancing the organization’s business goals and corporate objectives. Prior to working at FInagraph, I served as corporate counsel and managing director for BBI Financial (acquired by Finagraph in 2014).Specialties: Technology Law & Privacy Law Compliance, Technology Agreements (SaaS terms of use and service, SaaS license agreements, master services agreements, software escrow agreements, privacy policies), Legal Ethics, Technical Skills (document management, software, applications), Complex Transactions & Commercial Contract Negotiations (M&As and major deal negotiations), Managing Outside Counsel, Employee & Workplace Matters
