The L Suite (TechGC)

Hosting an impactful & truly enjoyable The L Suite (TechGC) dinner with an incredible group of women - including this panel - was a highlight of the week!

Excited to connect with the amazing community of general counsels we have here in San Diego at next week’s The L Suite (TechGC) General Counsel Roundtable Dinner. Leigh Rubinstein of Prenuvo , Allison Green of SpotDraft, and I are looking forward to kicking off a discussion on strategies to boost legal department efficiency in ways that enhance our effectiveness as legal and business leaders. www.lsuite.co

What an honor to join Charlotte Morgan and Adam Glick on stage at The L Suite (TechGC)'s Executive GC Offsite to discuss Strategic Leadership: Mastering Performance Management at the Executive Level. The conversation was as dynamic as it was insightful, and Jon Lenzner from Fenwick & West was an exceptional moderator who facilitated an engaging and interactive discussion on such an important topic. I'm grateful for the thoughtful questions and dialogue from everyone who attended—these are the kinds of conversations that make our community so valuable! A huge thank you to Dina Segal and Jared Sine for co-chairing an outstanding event, and to the entire The L Suite (TechGC) team for everything you do to create the most valuable community for in-house legal leaders—I always leave these gatherings inspired and energized. Can't wait for the next one! #InHouseCounsel #LegalLeadership #PerformanceManagement #TheLSuite

I'm thrilled to be joining this incredible panel for The L Suite (TechGC) New York Women's Collective Deputy GC Dinner on October 30th! The theme, "From Counsel to Strategist: Shaping the Business from the Legal Team," is one I'm passionate about. In today’s fast-paced tech world, Legal isn't just a compliance function—we are key partners in driving strategy and growth. I look forward to sharing insights and learning from a powerhouse group of women leaders. #WomenInLaw #LegalStrategy #InHouseCounsel #Celonis #TheLSuite

I was obsessed with the 1992 United States men's Olympic basketball team. I remember watching games wearing my airbrushed team roster t-shirt that I got from the Jersey shore boardwalk. Luckily for me, I have a new Dream Team to fawn over. On November 19, Marissa Comart of Reverb and I are co-chairing the The L Suite (TechGC)'s Legal Velocity Summit in New York and our mainstage speaker line-up is off-the-charts amazing. Discussing how leaders navigate the unknown, build resiliency, and lead forward in uncertain times (please say this in your head in an announcer's voice), we have: ⭐ Damien Atkins, CLO @ MrBeast ⭐ Lea Epstein, GC @ MyFitnessPal ⭐ Suk Kim, GC @ Zapier ⭐ Jung-Kyu McCann, CLO @ Greenhouse Software ⭐ Smrithi Mohan, GC @ Awesome ⭐ Nishat Ruiter, GC @ Ted Conferences ⭐ Jill Simeone, former CLO @ Etsy These all-star panelists will share their battle-tested insights: the challenges they have navigated, the lessons they've learned, and practical strategies for preparing your team for whatever comes next. We have limited spots remaining. If you're a first-time or early stage techGC, send me a message and we'll work to get you signed up. Note: I cannot speak to the athletic prowess of our speakers, but my own basketball career peaked and ended in 8th grade when I clocked in at 5'4" and then stopped growing.

“So often, we hear about AI in the abstract. At this event, we're cutting through the noise to discuss exactly how AI tools are being used right now to solve real legal problems.” – Kimberly Woodward, VP of Legal & Chief of Staff, Okta, LegalOps × GC Conference Co-Chair “This conference is a one-of-a-kind opportunity.
