  • A proven track record of making hard decisions, standing firm under pressure, and effectively communicating those decisions to diverse stakeholders.
  • Exceptional judgment, with the ability to balance business, legal, and reputational considerations.
  • Strong executive presence and communication skills; able to influence at the Board and executive level.
  • Builder and leader of teams with high standards of accountability and performance.
  • JD from a leading law school; bar admission in good standing.
  • Pragmatic, commercially minded, and solutions-oriented.
  • Courageous and decisive—able to hold the line when needed.
  • Resilient under pressure, with the ability to earn trust and respect even when delivering unwelcome advice.
  • Strong interpersonal and diplomatic skills, using EQ to bring stakeholders along without compromising on principle.
