WORK HISTORY
Vice President, Associate General Counsel @National Vision Inc.
ATL - Headquarters/Home Office - Austin, TX, US
As Regulatory and Health Care Counsel at National Vision, I deliver strategic legal guidance that drives compliance and fuels innovation across the enterprise. I lead cross-functional collaboration, ensuring regulatory alignment while partnering with technology teams to implement solutions that advance organizational goals. Over the past 18 months, I have guided transformative initiatives in Government Affairs, Managed Care Contracting, IT Data Integrity, and Privacy—streamlining compliance workflows and championing system interoperability. These efforts produced measurable business gains, including reduced insurance premiums, negotiated contract savings, and strengthened adherence to CCPA and emerging state data usage laws. As a key member of the Leadership Team, I shape scalable solutions by aligning legal, finance, operations, and IT strategies. My consultative input has been pivotal in contracting and implementing a new ERP/Procurement system integrated with Legal’s contract management platform, and in supporting the successful launch of a robust Adobe CRM system that enhances enterprise-wide engagement.
