01
Information Governance & Data Strategy
Connecting information practices, business priorities, and defensible governance across the modern information lifecycle.
Thought Leadership
Sharing Experience. Challenging Assumptions. Advancing the Conversation.
Throughout my career, sharing knowledge has been an important extension of my consulting work.
I’ve had the opportunity to speak, teach, moderate, and participate in programs across the Legal Technology and Information Governance communities—exploring not only emerging technologies, but also the business decisions, governance strategies, cultural challenges, and human factors that determine whether technology succeeds.
My programs have evolved alongside the profession—from Legal Technology strategy and Information Governance to cybersecurity, AI, empathy, mentorship, change management, and the modern information lifecycle.
The common thread is practical insight: helping professionals understand what is changing, why it matters, and how to translate emerging ideas into strategies they can actually use.
