About Kristina Sung Kepner
I help companies navigate complexity, seize opportunity, and protect what matters most. With 25+ years as a senior legal executive, I\'ve guided Fortune 15 and Fortune 150 companies through high-stakes transformation across the healthcare, industrial, and food sectors. I bring deep expertise in M&A, enterprise risk and high-impact commercial strategy - paired with a pragmatic, business-first mindset. As SVP & Deputy General Counsel, I managed dual teams spanning commercial and corporate transactions and enterprise risk, advising the Board and Audit Committee while navigating high-stakes customer and financing deals, digital expansion, and regulatory complexity. I\'ve built commercial and M&A functions from the ground up, led teams through multi-billion-dollar deals, and advised Boards through crisis and long-term strategy. I bring a strong commercial lens, sound judgment, and a steady hand in high-stakes environments.
