Head of Consumer Legal (Product & Regulatory)

I bring nearly two decades of leadership in consumer financial regulation, litigation, compliance, and policymaking, with deep expertise in the legal and strategic elements of developing innovative financial products. I offer a business-first mindset grounded in legal rigor, with a strong record of navigating ambiguous regulatory schemes and scaling compliance systems. I am energized by the opportunity to shape legal strategy that enables innovation and sustainable success. As Head of Consumer Legal at Stripe, I lead global legal strategy for consumer-facing products—advising on product development, regulatory engagement, and market entry across jurisdictions. I partner closely with product, engineering, risk, and policy teams to ensure scalable, compliant growth in a global environment. My work spans the full legal lifecycle—from product counseling and compliance design to regulatory advocacy and litigation management. I have led legal teams and overseen complex, cross-functional initiatives including global product launches, licensing strategies, and regulatory risk mitigation. I routinely advise executives on legal risk in response to emerging product trends and volatile regulatory environments. Previously, I led global compliance programs at PayPal, where I managed regulatory obligations and product lifecycle strategy for consumer credit and payments offerings. I began my career in public service as an enforcement attorney at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, where I focused on financial services enforcement and litigation.
