I am an attorney with extensive litigation and counseling experience. For over a decade, I have maintained a diverse litigation practice focusing on complex commercial litigation, with an emphasis on privacy and data security, advertising litigation, contract and licensing disputes, business tort litigation, and securities and regulatory defense. For the past six years, I have focused on privacy and data security compliance and product counseling. I am a Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E), Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States (CIPP/U), and Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM). I guide clients through their obligations in the rapidly evolving area of information privacy, counseling clients on U.S. and international privacy laws, product counseling, and establishing and complying with information governance; data retention; and e-mail, text and social media use policies, as well as effecting cost-efficient and compliant data collection, processing and retention.

I am the Chief Privacy Officer at our parent gold.com. I wrote and launched the company’s generative AI acceptable use program and have been closely involved in training and rollout as well as review and approval process for AI tools.

I am a seasoned corporate counsel and strategic business partner with a 20 plus year legal career spanning diverse industries and challenges. Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in litigation, commercial contracts, strategic transactions, corporate governance, compliance, privacy, employment law, and intellectual property. This breadth of experience has honed my ability to adapt quickly, and provide guidance that remains both legally sound and pragmatically aligned with business objectives.

I am a daily user of GenAI in a high-volume corporate environment and the author of the recent ACC Docket cover story, "The AI-Empowered Counsel: A Practical Framework for In-house Legal Teams". I do not just theorize about AI; I use it daily to triage contracts, synthesize complex regulatory updates, and draft routine correspondence. My "daily basis" reality involves moving beyond simple prompts to building the "centralized prompt library" and "tooling maturity models" I outlined in my article.  My article also specifically addresses the current anxiety in-house teams face: high pressure, flat headcounts, and the need for speed.
