Legal executive driving growth and scalability at mid/late-stage technology companies poised for IPO or M&A. Currently at Pilot, I lead the legal team and facilitate expansion through scalable contracting structures, thoughtful regulatory compliance and customer-centric data governance and privacy framework while enabling AI adoption. As the first General Counsel of Intacct, my team and I optimized commercial contracting for strong SaaS growth while reducing customer negotiations by 10x, enabled efficient CCPA, GDPR and HIPAA compliance, guided the legal strategy for IPO readiness, and led the legal workstream of $850M acquisition by Sage. Post-acquisition, I helped with Intacct's integration into Sage's public company governance framework, shared SaaS and AI knowledge across Sage, and served on the global Deal Desk.As first lawyer at Lytro, I helped launch two groundbreaking consumer hardware products across four continents, achieved 500% growth in patent portfolio, and secured four rounds of funding. At Fenwick & West's corporate practice, I provided legal counsel to over 50 technology companies undergoing IPOs, M&A deals, and venture capital financings. My expertise spans corporate governance, technology contracts, IP portfolio management, privacy, product counseling, regulatory compliance, employment law, equity and securities, subsidiary management, litigation, IPOs, and buy-side and sell-side M&A. With extensive boardroom experience, I bring a strategic perspective to board discussions on "bet the company" legal issues and governance and ethics matters.Known as "the Closer" among Sales and Business Development peers, I excel at finding common ground in complex contract negotiations and bringing deals to successful conclusion.
