WORK HISTORY
Managing Associate General Counsel - m & a Global Practice Leader @Cargill
Atlanta, GA, US
As Global M&A Lead attorney for Cargill, one of the largest private companies in the United States with 2025 revenues of approximately $160 billion, I work across the organization, including with our board and C-suite, to advance Cargill\'s strategic transaction strategy and execution. My global team of lawyers and law professionals drives and advises on Cargill\'s acquisition, divestiture, joint venture, corporate venturing, and other strategic transactions. I also drive efficiencies in our work through an appropriate balancing of work between in-house and outside counsel, including in many cases supporting transactions solely with in-house resources, and through exploring ways in which our AI tools, such as Chat-GPT Enterprise and Co-Pilot, can be used to drive efficiency without sacrificing creative thinking and understanding.
