As a results-driven general counsel, I am highly motivated by novel legal issues with no clear right or wrong answers. I enjoy the engagement experienced working at a fast pace in a collaborative environment; managing simultaneous legal, strategic business and finance projects; and advising a team of executives working toward a shared goal. These are just a few reasons why I was destined to be a corporate lawyer.Thoughtfully growing a business takes teamwork, a clear vision, business expertise, robust strategies and legal knowledge. As a proactive leader, I enjoy collaborating with global teams on strategic planning; mergers and acquisitions; ethics, compliance and governance programs; and employee development.My extensive background in structuring transactions, negotiating critical agreements and translating complex topics into easily understood terms has helped organizations thrive. With Fortune 500 and startup experience in public, private and nonprofit organizations, I have helped with initial and secondary public offerings; helped a company successfully emerge from bankruptcy; delist a company from the Nasdaq Stock Market; purchased and sold assets in foreign countries; advised leaders on securities, finance and cryptocurrency; and led M&A transactions. I’ve supported global operations and subsidiaries in Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Chile, the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Spain, and I’ve also listed debt and equity on exchanges in the U.S. and Ireland. Empowering teams, contributing to solutions and delivering timely outcomes are ways I turn vision into realized value.LEADERSHIP–recruited, guided and mentored legal, HR, IT and facilities staff, offering them coaching, professional development and career growth paths.
