Professional Background

AlixPartners
Partner and Managing Director

A former trial lawyer turned digital sleuth, I am now a leader in AlixPartners’ Investigations, Compliance & Privacy team. My days are spent tracing vanished crypto, unravelling stealthy web trackers, and translating terabytes of forensic detail into clear stories judges and regulators trust. Recent work includes steering the FTX bankruptcy’s forensic digital asset-tracing efforts, helping Big-Tech with comprehensive privacy overhauls for the FTC, and teaching 500+ FBI agents how to follow crypto across blockchains. Nearly three decades in the trenches—first at an AmLaw 100 firm, later inside global consultancies—have wired me to bridge law and technology without jargon. I’m a registered patent attorney, Certified Cryptocurrency Forensic Investigator, and dual-certified privacy professional (CIPP/US & EU). Boards tap me for candid cyber-risk advice; courts rely on me for expert testimony that sticks. What drives me is impact: helping clients recover stolen value, protecting consumer data, and walking into court armed with facts no cross-examination can shake. Off the clock you’ll find me hiking mountain trails, racing cars or tinkering with open-source tools that make tomorrow’s investigations faster and fairer.
