Jason Soni – SparkPost

Est. reading time: 4 mins

Jason Soni didn’t aspire to become a lawyer while growing up. In fact, he planned to become a physician. Then he had a disagreement with a college professor over using a graphing calculator app on his iPhone in a calculus class. “The premise was that the tools students have at their disposal, and the amount […]

Suvashis “V” Bhattacharya – Pure Storage

Suvashis “V” Bhattacharya doesn’t give in to patent trolls. Known formally as non-practicing entities, these groups don’t make any products, but instead buy patents so they can sue companies that they allege infringe those patents. Challenging them is usually difficult and expensive, especially for small companies, so most businesses settle. According to Bhattacharya, patent litigation […]

Darren Moore left his previous position as an in-house M&A attorney because he wanted to return to be a generalist again. Naturally, one of his first big projects for his new employer was a transformative acquisition. “Shame on me for trying something new,” Moore says with a laugh. As chief legal officer for Appriss, he […]

Eric Gross – Sapphire Digital

Est. reading time: 4 mins

Few things frighten Americans like unexpected health care expenses. A 2018 Kaiser Family Foundation poll found 67 percent of respondents worry about unexpected medical bills more than they worry about prescription drug costs, insurance deductibles, or even paying for rent, food and gas. Though Eric Gross can’t prevent those bills from occurring, he’s helping people […]

The business world trends toward paperless, but not without risk. Each week seems to bring forth more news of data breaches and ransomware. Michael Acedo reminds that the Canadian-headquartered, cloud-based information management specialist OpenText Corp., is well-prepared to manage content or unstructured data for its private and public sector clientele both securely and to help […]

Adrienne Valencia Garcia – IBM

Est. reading time: 5 mins

Active at legal and business get-togethers, Adrienne Valencia Garcia can find her audience initially befuddled with what’s become a favored truism: “More organic food is sold than grown.” By this, she means that produce labeling can be deceptive. It takes many years for an organic farm to be fully operational from seeds to produce to […]

Jefferson V. Wright – Telos Corporation

Est. reading time: 6 mins

Quite the unique employer, Jefferson V. Wright used to say about Telos Corp., the cybersecurity and info security company where he’s been general counsel and executive vice president since 2012. Clients include some of the most security-conscious organizations, among them the Pentagon, intelligence agencies, Homeland Security, the FBI and State Department, as well as large […]

Jaclyn Walliser – InfoSystems

Est. reading time: 5 mins

It looked like an email from the boss. It had the same address and asked for information you’ve provided before—files or information vital to closing a deal or even a funds transfer request. So you dropped what you’re doing and responded, quickly attaching files and hitting send, showing again how you can shift priorities in […]

Emma Channing — Satis Group LLC

Est. reading time: 5 mins

Emma Channing says about 70 percent of Americans have less than $5,000 in their 401(k) accounts—and that’s not OK. In fact, the CEO and general counsel of Satis Group says the numbers amount to a ticking time bomb. The casualties? They’re more likely to be women—and those earning less income. That situation is among the […]

In the world of investment, tracking the performance of a portfolio can be one of the biggest challenges to managing it. Markets fluctuate, interest rates change, earnings reports ebb and flow and information abounds. Aggregation tools are essential for independent wealth advisers, but the data filling those graphs and pie charts, such as share prices […]

Testimonials

The piece highlighting my company, Bob Baker Enterprises, Inc., came out fabulous. Our company is in the new and used car sales and service industry. Everyone was great to work with and extremely professional. They produced a high-quality product and have provided expert assistance and guidance post-production of the article.
– Wade Poulson, General Counsel, Bob Baker Enterprises Inc.
As promised in advance, my feature in Vanguard has increased my visibility within the profession and prompted more than a few people I have not communicated with recently to reconnect. One of the Italian law firms I have used in the past is now in the process of interviewing me for an article on their website and tweeting out the feature story. Activity and the number of people connecting with me on LinkedIn has soared, which is great. The Vanguard writers and editorial staff were great to work with—highly professional and made the effort to make the experience both fun and rewarding (they were also respectful of the time pressures and demands all lawyers face). I was very pleased with the experience and the final outcome. Needless to say, I have been very pleased. All in all working with Vanguard has been a very positive experience which generated good publicity for both Shawcor and myself. My sincere thanks.
– Tim Hutzul, General Counsel, ShawCor Ltd.
I was honored to be the subject of an article. I enjoy reading Vanguard articles and seeing how other attorneys got to their positions and see their jobs. It's also interesting to see how different law firms partner with the subjects of the articles.
– Henry Marquard, in-house counsel, Stanley Consultants Inc.
It was a great honor to be featured in Vanguard Law. Working with every member of the team, from the initial interview with Erin Clark, through production with Victor Martins, writing the article with Taryn Plumb and creating the final content with Dave Gushee, was a true pleasure. Everyone was very professional, enthusiastic and supportive, and their creative approach and positive attitude clearly came through in the final product.
– Kevin C. Rakowski, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel, Compliance with Radian Group Inc.
