I currently serve as the Global Managing Partner of the Legal, Risk, and Compliance executive search practice group at DSG Global (Diversified Search Group). DSG Global is a full-service, Forbes and Hunt Scanlon top ten ranked, executive search and consulting firm, and a member of Alto Partners, a global search partnership. Combining an extensive background in executive search focused on the legal sector, and substantial prior experience as a practicing attorney, with a demonstrated history of championing leadership development, I lead executive search and consulting assignments, and advise corporate, higher education, and non-profit clients seeking to recruit and retain top-tier leaders for their organizations, in roles including Chief Legal Officer, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and other C-suite executive and board positions, across various industries and geographies. I am recognized nationwide for my dedication to forging meaningful connections among individuals and organizations. Leveraging my decades of combined experience in recruitment, and labor & employment law, I have successfully identified, nurtured and recruited top talent on a global scale for many leading organizations. I regularly provide thought leadership nationally through participation in panel discussions, podcasts, media interviews, and active social media engagement. Before embarking on my career in executive search in 2010, I was a law firm partner and law firm practice group leader. I practiced labor & employment law at several large law firms at the associate and partner level for over a decade. I am also very active in non-profit work, including as a member of the boards of the American Writers Museum and Girls, Inc. of Chicago, and serving on my undergrad institution's Kalamazoo College Alumni Engagement Board. I received my JD with specialization in international legal affairs and concentration in business law from Cornell Law School and my BA from Kalamazoo College. Born in Pittsburgh, raised in Detroit, I live with my husband and son in Chicago with our cat and dog.
