Committed to “doing well by doing good” in my current role at Foursquare through meaningful, mission-furthering work as part of a values-driven organization engaged in building human connection. As a professional, I am: - A reliable, business-minded lawyer with a proven 17-year track record providing effective, practical and dependable advice and representation to enable clients and business partners across many industries - most recently in tech - to achieve their targeted outcomes. - A nimble, adaptable, resourceful, efficient and pragmatic advisor with an ability to quickly understand business motivations and objectives, balance competing interests, and anticipate and mitigate potential legal, business and reputational risks in an ethical and cost-minimizing manner. - A problem-solving and assertive negotiator, mediator and advocate with a honed ability to bring relevant stakeholders to the table, find creative solutions and reach agreement. - A thoughtful and persuasive writer with a keen attention to nuance and detail and a thorough understanding of business and legal writing. - A kind, respectful, empathetic, approachable, honest and collaborative colleague, mentor and manager. At my core, I am: - A tightrope walker learning to balance self-care with service to others – as an active dad of two, partner, friend, colleague and community member. - A well-prepared optimist and a creative soul battling perfectionist tendencies. - A purveyor of puns and an adherent to finding the humor and the silver lining in any situation. - An authentic, out and proud fellow traveler committed to self-improvement and to embracing the sometimes painful lessons in life’s challenges, to stretching and growing, and to constantly learning and becoming more aware of myself (including my own implicit bias) and the world around me.
