Colleen Batcheler, who has worked for ConAgra since 2006, has been a driving force in the expansion of its legal department, which had previously been wholly outsourced. Batcheler has also been vocal about promoting professional and personal development within her organization, as well as doing her bit to promote efforts to raise the overall number of female GCs to 30%. Firoz Dattu and Tamanna Choudhri of AdvanceLaw say Batcheler ‘demonstrates a willingness to encourage her legal team to drive value in their outside counsel relationships, is passionate about diversity, and yet also is someone law firms enjoy working with. She is principled and we respect her’.
