As a Legal Innovation & Information Governance leader, I transform complex legal, compliance, and data challenges into scalable, strategic solutions that drive operational excellence and empower organizations to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world.With two decades of experience at the intersection of technology, compliance, and business strategy, I’ve led global initiatives across Information Governance, Legal Operations, eDiscovery, and Data Privacy delivering frameworks and technologies that reduce risk, enhance efficiency, and enable sustainable growth.At Google, I lead the Information Governance Preservation Program, driving transformative efforts that align cutting-edge technology with legal and business objectives. My focus is on building proactive, scalable compliance frameworks rooted in cross-functional collaboration, data-driven strategy, and organizational alignment.Previously, I led the Global Records and Information Controls (GRIC) program at Kimberly-Clark, where I expanded global retention coverage, automated legal hold and eDiscovery workflows, and delivered over $1.2 million in cost savings. I have also advised Global Fortune 500 clients through complex legal transformations in senior consulting roles at Stout and Lighthouse Global. At JCPenney, I led Legal Operations, Information Governance, and eDiscovery, and built foundational expertise at top-tier law firms including Haynes and Boone, Sullivan & Cromwell, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher.Certified as both an Information Governance Professional (IGP) and a Certified E-Discovery Specialist (CEDS), I bring deep subject matter expertise and a holistic, strategic approach to legal innovation. What sets me apart is not just what I build - but how I lead, with clarity, empathy, and integrity. I believe that meaningful, lasting transformation is built on trust, alignment, and shared purpose.
