Professional Bio
I am Deputy General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at Eversource Energy (NYSE: ES), New England’s largest energy delivery company and a Fortune 500 utility. With nearly three decades of in-house experience, I lead legal strategy for complex state and federal regulatory, SEC and corporate governance, labor and employment, and dispute resolution matters and has been a strong advocate for proactive dispute prevention and the effective, disciplined use of mediation, arbitration and other ADR processes. I have driven the adoption of stepped dispute prevention and ADR clauses, early case evaluation, and ADR practices aimed at reducing cost, risk, and business disruption.
A longtime leader in the ADR community, I am the proud recipient of ACR GNY’s 2025 Chuck Newman Award, and CPR’s 2025 James P. Groton Award for Outstanding Leadership in Dispute Prevention for my contributions to conflict resolution and dispute prevention. I became an in-house counsel fellow of the Association of Commercial and Transactional ADR Professionals (ACT ADR), where I chair the dispute prevention working group. I also lead the ACC’s new ADR subcommittee, serve on CPR’s Executive Advisory Committee and co-chair CPR’s dispute prevention committee, and serve as a member of the AAA ICDR Energy Advisory Committee. I served as a member of the Connecticut Commission on Civil Court ADR, where I contributed to recommendations for enhancing the state judiciary’s ADR programs.
I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a BA in Legal Studies, and a graduate, cum laude, from Suffolk University Law School in Boston.
