Leads a world-class team of some of the most highly regarded solutions oriented legal professionals in the industry who play a vital role in ensuring Equinix is compliant with local laws in the countries the company operates in while championing integrity and the highest level of ethical standards. I am an inclusive executive who strives to lead with authenticity and enable the same in my team. I stand against racism, hate, and marginalization. I stand with the BIPOC community. I stand with the LGBTQ+ community. I stand with Women. I stand with the differently abled. I believe teams perform better when each person is given the opportunity to bring their full self to work. Background includes management consulting, employment law, representing new and emerging venture-backed companies, and significant corporate law experience representing many business functions including go-to-market operations, real estate, finance, facility operations, mergers and acquisitions, IP development and licensing, IT support, corporate development and strategy and a host of other operational areas. I am a strong believer in finding a balance between work, family, and personal growth, and encourage others to take time to do the same.
