With over 20 years of legal experience, I specialize in managing complex corporate transactions and guiding cross-functional teams to achieve strategic objectives. As Senior Manager and Attorney at Discover, I focus on enhancing operational efficiencies through innovative process improvements and contract negotiations. Passionate about fostering collaborative relationships (especially with my counterparts in Sourcing and Procurement), I aim to align legal strategies with organizational goals to drive sustainable growth and value. At Discover, I lead a team of attorneys providing transactional and strategic support for the Business Technology Department along with my Sourcing partners. My work involves drafting and negotiating contracts covering cloud services, cyber security, software licenses, and more. I also focus on cost-saving initiatives by developing and refining organizational templates and processes. Recently, I’ve reinforced my expertise through a cybersecurity certification.
