Jill Javor – November Properties & York Investment Properties LLC
On a calm October day, Jill Javor, husband Attila and 6 1/2 year-old son, Ryan, stand beside U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman, their ribbon cutting scissors poised and ready.

Jen Mahan – FMC Corporation
The first trip was to Thailand where she met with the Asia Pacific team to ensure a smooth transition for the company’s upcoming acquisition. A few weeks later, she was in Sao Paulo, this time to help build a similar plan for the company’s Latin American operations. Not long after that, it was on to […]

Hanft is now legal counsel for the company that bought Globecomm Systems Inc. in February 2019, advising it on its […]
Jo Ann Davaris – Booking Holdings
In April 2016, just days after Jo Ann Davaris was named global chief privacy officer (CPO) for international consulting giant Mercer, the European Union passed the sweeping General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which laid out strict rules for how companies operating in the EU handle the personal information of consumers. At that point, companies had […]
John Frates – Stewart Title Insurance Company
When a solar array company was buying a large parcel just north of the New York-Pennsylvania border, there were a slew of complexities to satisfy before the bosses could begin tapping the sun.

The Albany, New York-based salesforce and staffing company is expanding in pockets around the world—earning more in the first quarter of this year than in all of the last. Now with a team 200 […]
