Excited to share that I am joining Metra Commuter Rail as Deputy General Counsel. Throughout my career, I have been drawn to work involving litigation, risk, insurance, and business operations. This opportunity brings those areas together in a way that feels both professionally meaningful and personally exciting. I am incredibly grateful to the mentors, colleagues, and friends who supported me throughout this transition and generously shared their guidance along the way. Looking forward to this next chapter and to serving an organization that plays such an important role across the Chicagoland area.

Recently sat down with @Luminance for their Voices of Enterprise AI series to talk about how the General Counsel role is evolving in the AI era. We got into some of the real challenges and opportunities as AI starts to shape the business more directly. One thing that’s becoming clear: Legal-grade AI tools are helping shape and create tangible business value.  https://lnkd.in/eRDpuuHs

I'm excited to start my new job as General Counsel - Securities (SEC) Disclosure & Latin America, where I will be responsible for leading our company's disclosures before the Securities & Exchange Commission. I'm grateful that I will continue to serve as Rockwell's General Counsel for the Latin America Region, leading a team of trusted advisors and business partners to our Sales, Integrated Supply Chain, Human Resources, and Finance functions, as well as our Business Units. It has been an honor serving as Rockwell's lead lawyer to the North America Sales, Global Market Access, and Global Sales functions during the last five years. I will fondly remember the challenging projects we worked on and am satisfied that we helped Rockwell to grow profitably during an unprecedented time. I was also moved that I always felt I was part of the team even though sometimes I had to take dissenting positions. Thank you to everyone and I look forward to seeing many of you during this week's PartnerNetwork Conference in Las Vegas.

It was a real pleasure to speak at this year’s HNBA Corporate Counsel Conference about something I’ve been experimenting with a lot lately: how AI can actually help us in our day-to-day work as in-house lawyers. We had a great conversation about how these tools are changing not only how we work today, but also what the future of the in-house legal practice might look like. I was fortunate to share the panel with Diana Santos @Tony Beasley, and Joseph L., with thoughtful moderation by Michael Pastor. The discussion was full of practical insights and real-life examples of how lawyers are already using AI in their workflows. We talked about ways AI can help with things many of us deal with every day—accelerating learning, summarizing lengthy documents, organizing inboxes and multiple communication channels, preparing for meetings, and reviewing and redlining contracts, among many other tasks. Thank you to the HNBA for bringing together such a thoughtful group of legal professionals to discuss how we can responsibly and effectively integrate these tools into our practice. #HNBA #CorporateCounsel #CCC2026 #LegalInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence #InHouseCounsel #LegalTech #FutureOfWork

Excited to be speaking about AI later this week in Las Vegas! 📢 📢 It is great to have the opportunity to share knowledge and experience developed over almost a decade of advising on the development of AI. When I started advising on AI/ML almost a decade ago I would never have guessed that it would one day be such a hot topic!💥💥 Looking forward to seeing old friends, making new friends and learning from smart lawyers coming together from all around the country!
