Dentons Global CEO | Independent Board Member I Retired EY Global Executive I Transformational Leader I Philanthropist
My sincere thanks and admiration for the remarkable leader that Elliott Portnoy is, and the time he has personally taken to ensure that I am set up for success in my new role as Dentons’ Global CEO. Looking ahead, I am excited to work with colleagues and clients to build on Dentons' success. I was drawn to Dentons because of its unparalleled global reach, exceptional talent, and compelling brand, so in the coming months, remaining dedicated to listening, learning, and understanding the diverse perspectives and experiences within our Firm will be my focus. Dentons has redefined the legal services landscape with its pioneering business strategy and client offerings. There are huge parallels between my prior experience leading large and complex organizations and navigating global markets, and the goals and ambitions that lie ahead for Dentons as we continue to go above and beyond for our clients. The future is bright and I look forward to working with our people, clients and communities around the world as we take Dentons from strength to even greater strength.
