Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary @ BurgerFi

About

As the former Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary at BurgerFi International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BFI), with global experience leading Board members, C-suite executives and legal teams through complex strategic, transactional, governance, finance, and regulatory matters, I led the BurgerFi and Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza legal department in guiding the Company in all legal and compliance matters. Following the closing of the T-Mobile/Sprint merger, I joined Morrison & Foerster as Of Counsel, where my practice focused on debt and equity securities offerings, as well as advising companies on, among other things, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance and securities items, and other compliance matters. As the Corporate Secretary and VP of Legal at Sprint, I regularly advised the Executive Team on corporate governance, securities, finance, and other complex legal matters, as well as and supporting the Board of Directors in discharging its fiduciary duties to stockholders. With each of Jones Day, Sprint and Morrison & Foerster, I’ve worked successfully in high-stress, fast-paced environments – where complex transactions and associated decisions must be made quickly. Expertise Includes: Securities Laws | Financings (Capital Markets & Banking) | Governance | Ethics | M&As | Disclosures | Executive Compensation | Change-in-Control Transactions Highlights & Results Include: ■ Advised C-Suite and Board during the $150B T-Mobile/Sprint merger. ■ Served as principal in-house lawyer on $60B+ in capital raising and corporate finance transactions. ■ Led Sprint’s turnaround through unique capital raising transactions – when traditional high-yield markets were no longer available. ■ Developed a program with Goldman Sachs to raise $7B+ through issuance of spectrum-backed debt securities – a first-of-its kind program. ■ Functioned as lead securities, finance, and governance lawyer on the change-of-control merger with T-Mobile (2018) and SoftBank (2012). ■ Quickly gained Board, CEO, and CFO confidence. ■ Decreased labor costs. ■ Conducted global business in Europe, South America, and Asia. ■ Managed a multimillion-dollar budget – and a diverse legal team.
