General Counsel for Hire/Legal Consultant
Sep 2015 - Present
As both a deeply experienced business attorney/General Counsel, and a former entrepreneur/business development leader, I have a passion for helping companies navigate critical legal requirements with a keen understanding of the need to balance scarce resources. For companies that have a need for practical legal advice, but who don’t have the resources to hire their own in-house legal counsel, I can step in as “General Counsel for Hire” and provide world class legal advice. For companies that already have legal departments, I provide leadership to special projects and on diverse matters and assignments. Having worked within a large multi-national and an earlier stage explosive growth company, I know how to scale back the "ideal" solutions used by large companies to fit companies at any stage of development. Current and past clients include Sheets & Giggles, Revolar, REFASHIOND OS, and Pivot Industries, among others.
