Colleagues describe her as "Mara is an exceptional Legal Affairs, Legal Operations and Business Operations professional. I have now worked with Mara at two different companies and in two different roles (legal and business). Her ability to drive new solutions, work cross functionally, and deliver outcomes that move an organization forward are second to none. She is a highly motivated and committed employee. At IronNet, she accelerated into upper management, often times managing highly complicated matters, but synthesizing them into consumable actions for the benefit of the organization. She earned the support and trust of all the major internal business groups, the executive team (for which she later became a part of), and the Board Directors. Her expertise extends far beyond the legal function, as she drove projects and worked on many operational matters from international expansion, to security and threats, and IP development. Within the legal department, Mara’s accomplishments are too many to fully list here but include: developing the scalability and streamlining (and templating) of our worldwide contracting, making business move much quicker supporting revenue and partnerships; introducing and implementing technology to drive the scale and needs of the department (I.e platforms for contracts management, IP management, corp subsidiary system, board management, and diligence management); owning and managing due diligence for venture financing and M&A/IPO (buy and sell side side); driving down department spend and managing the department budget; directing the buildout of the legal department skill and personnel; becoming an executive leader of the company and prime representative of the legal department; and owning and driving the patent and IP expansion (globally) of the company (tripling the patent portfolio and expansion of the brand.", "Mara was a highly team focused & detail oriented colleague at RichFX/ChannelAdvisor. When our company was caught up in a drawn-out, stressful period of being acquired by another company, Mara really was instrumental in maintaining a sane, productive working environment", and "Mara was a very professional yet very personable colleague."
