This includes roles as both a business leader and legal partner with key contributions.Throughout my career, I’ve been regarded as a problem solver with sound judgment—developing strategies, agreements, policies, solutions and best practices. As an accomplished first-chair litigator and former NYC prosecutor with extensive civil and criminal jury trial-to-verdict and appellate oral advocacy experience and business and transaction advisor across diverse disciplines, I combine my legal, courtroom and business acumen with solid interpersonal skills, teaming with partners and executives to find workable solutions to and comprehensive training for varied, complex legal problems.At MassMutual, I’m lead litigation counsel specializing in sales practice, individual disability, intellectual property and commercial litigation and regularly provide professional legal training to our legal and business partners.Awarded MetLife General Counsel Award of Recognition in 2014 and 2015. I've also maximized attorneys’ and business partners’ effectiveness by providing a broad range of professional trainings. Adding value as a dynamic speaker with an executive presence, I'm often requested to give trainings on a wide array of topics, clearly and effectively interpreting complex legal concepts—filtering, simplifying and focusing detailed information --in a lively and engaging presentation.
