WHY AM I ATTENDING ILTACON’S CORPORATE LEGAL DAY? I recently met for lunch with my retired former boss, John Alber. I used to call John my “mentor” but understand now that he played a much bigger role as my career “sponsor." There is a meaningful difference. John has been a true pioneer in the legal tech industry and was a senior executive leader of the AmLaw 100 firm where I spent the first 20 years of my career. He saw my potential and made a bet on me by making me the director of a newly created department to drive revenue through technology using an alternative staffing model. He pushed me to take risks far outside my comfort zone. John advocated for me with fellow firm leaders and convinced them I had the business acumen necessary to make our initiative successful. In return, John expected great things from me in advancing his strategic vision for the firm. All of this made me feel invested and highly motivated to perform well and help John achieve his goals; by doing so, I advanced my own career to a level I never dreamed possible. Career sponsorship is critically important in our rapidly evolving industry. As GenAI and other technology forces accelerate systemic change in the legal landscape, sponsors play a crucial role in helping professionals navigate choppy waters. I’m grateful I had the chance to tell John how much his sponsorship has meant to my career, and the trajectory of my life. If you’re a corporate legal professional strategizing next steps in your career, join us at ILTACON on August 14 in Nashville to talk about sponsorship, real-world problem solving, and using your superpowers to maximize your value in tomorrow’s marketplace!
