I am a General Counsel, C-suite operator, and board member with two-plus decades of advising boards and independent directors of public and private companies and funds on governance, fiduciary duties, transactions, capital markets, regulatory developments, and board processes. My experience on both sides of the boardroom table gives me the deep perspective of driving shareholder value, navigating through rapidly changing and challenging regulatory environments, delivering improved operational performance, enhancing cost savings, and safeguarding company interests during major market and corporate stress events.
Throughout my career, I have focused on helping executive teams, boards, and stakeholders navigate consequential decisions where legal judgment, institutional context, and reputational considerations intersect.
