• Lead public company governance and SEC/Nasdaq reporting, ensuring compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements.
• Develop and lead custody risk management strategies, in partnership with Finance, Treasury, and other key stakeholders.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Investor Relations, Product, HR, and other teams to align legal strategies with business objectives.
