My wide experience as a lawyer, a volunteer and a mom share a common thread - close collaboration to nurture and develop visions into realities. I excel at building communication channels among highly specialized groups of technology and business professionals and their legal teams to develop and leverage the value in the digital marketplace of innovative ideas and their associated intellectual property. I have sat on many sides of the table and can bring the perspectives of entrepreneurs and Founders, venture capitalists, large corporations, and legal teams to offer a risk-based approach to contract drafting and negotiation that focuses on the intersection of business and legal risk and its impact on product development and brand strategy, profit margins, liability load and ultimately, company valuation. I am interested in mentoring and teaching an understanding of this intersection between risk and valuation to create a competitive advantage for entrepreneurs, technology and business professionals and their legal teams.
