I’m a General Counsel and Chief Risk Officer with 20+ years of expertise in advising public and private fintech, payments, and technology/software companies on various corporate legal functions, including corporate governance, compliance and risk, commercial transactions, software development and licensing, litigation, dispute resolution, and government contracting. Companies I’ve worked at over the past two-plus decades include: Accenture (NYSE: CAN), Zimmer Orthopedics (NYSE: ZBH), HSBC Bank (NYSE: HSBC), TTEC Holdings (NASDAQ: TTEC), and currently, Forth.Throughout my legal career, I’ve held a strong reputation for flourishing in large, sales-facing organizations, bringing order to chaos, and mitigating risk while advancing long-term goals. As a trusted advisor to the C-suite, senior management, and boards of directors, I bring a passion for solving multiple corporate challenges through pragmatic and business-focused advice, as well as creating a strong culture of collaboration and client service. I’m equally skilled at partnering with boards and executive teams on corporate governance and strategy, leading and inspiring high-performing legal teams, transforming outdated policies and processes into robust and compliant ones, acquiring deep knowledge of new compliance areas, managing government contracts (federal, state, and local), and leading large-scale M&A transactions up to $400M+ (from deal room to document negotiations, due diligence, and integrations).Areas of Focus: Corporate Governance & Strategy • Global Business Expansion • Regulatory Knowledge • Compliance & Risk • M&A Transactions & Divestitures • Crisis Management • Strategic Planning & Execution • IP Portfolio Management • IP Litigation • Government Contracting • Software Development & Licensing • Data Privacy • HR/Employment Law
