Legal team size: 23 

During the past year, what are your teams’ proudest accomplishments? 

Across all areas, the Shipt legal affairs team has outperformed expectations. From maturing our compliance program to managing unexpected litigation and negotiating critical commercial agreements, the team truly delivered exceptional work.  One significant accomplishment for the team was supporting Shipt’s 2023 brand campaign timed to the 2023 blockbuster “Barbie.” The campaign was, in all accounts, successful and featured Shipt’s brand ambassador Issa Rae, a Barbie cast member. From providing commercial contracting services to providing IP, marketing and labor advice and counsel, legal affairs ensured the campaign aligned with business objectives and Shipt values.  

What strategic priorities are guiding you and your team in 2024? 

Shipt is a retail technology company that engages in continuous improvement at every level.  With the introduction of AI and other technology resources, my team will spend a fair amount of time ensuring that Shipt has appropriate policies, training and guidelines related to the use of new technologies. Our goal is to ensure that our use of these technologies not only complies with laws and regulations but also comply with Shipt’s policies and values. 

Do you have a cause, business-related or otherwise, that you are passionate about? 

I am passionate about mentoring attorneys and ensuring the legal community has a continued pipeline of attorneys, particularly women and minority attorneys. I have been a mentor with American Corporate Partners for 10+ years, assisting military personnel in transition to either advanced legal education or a private sector attorney role. Additionally, I have launched and operated internship programs consistently over the last 10+ years, ensuring that law students have an opportunity to experience in-house legal environments.
