I lead the 40+ attorneys and legal professionals who advise all of Capital One's businesses and risk functions on banking and consumer finance law, privacy, and other legal and regulatory issues. We also manage centralized resources and tools that communicate legal and regulatory expectations for the company.

I led Capital One's in-house enterprise legal team advising on privacy and data security, payment systems, and financial crimes.

I oversaw approximately 100 lawyers, analysts, and staff and directed civil and criminal investigations involving enforcement of a wide range of federal consumer protection laws. I also supervised the defense of civil suits challenging certain government programs.

In this role, I participated in nearly every significant civil case involving the United States government while helping manage the Justice Department’s largest litigating unit, with approximately 1,400 lawyers and staff.In addition to litigation and investigations, I helped lead two of the Department’s most significant projects. Beginning in 2011, I led the Department’s efforts to reopen the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, which provides compensation to first responders, clean-up workers, and others injured in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In addition, following the historic Supreme Court decision striking down part of the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013, I helped coordinate the government-wide implementation of the Court’s opinion, ensuring that federal benefits were provided, as appropriate, to same-sex married couples across the full spectrum of government programs. For my work on this project, I received the Attorney General’s Award for Exceptional Service, the Department’s highest honor.
