A versatile and accomplished business leader, people manager, and legal generalist, with specific subject matter expertise in transactions and intellectual property. My strengths include (1) increasing business production, relationships and efficiency through contract development and negotiation (from templates to bespoke arrangements); (2) counseling stakeholders on deal structuring with practical advice and doses of risk mitigation, carefully navigating to a "yes" answer when the immediate, but least-desirable answer would seem to be "no," and (3) collaborating with my leadership peers to constantly refine the business to keep up with trends and competitors. Professional Philosophies:1. Preparation is critical to success2. Counseling must be practical, digestible, and actionable3. All endeavors must consider scale, scope, and speedLegal ExperienceHoneywell International, Inc.
