In 2020, I helped facilitate the merger between Pepper Hamilton and Troutman Sanders, resulting in the establishment of Troutman Pepper.During my tenure as Managing Partner, Troutman Pepper experienced significant revenue gains, attracted top talent in critical areas, executed the firm\'s first strategic plan, enhanced brand recognition, and launched a market-leading client value program. I am also dedicated to exploring the impact of emerging technologies on the legal profession. This commitment led to the formation of our Generative AI task force and the development of our proprietary GenAI tool, Athena.I co-lead the firm\'s Executive Committee and serve as Chair of the Policy Committee. Feel free to connect with me to discuss industry trends, strategic initiatives, or the evolving landscape of legal technology.
