What’s your proudest professional achievement of the past year and why?
When I joined Lyft in 2012 as general counsel, it was just me. Now, Lyft’s legal team is crossing 130 people and is stronger than ever.

Every team member has been uncompromising in their ability to help the company achieve business goals and take us closer and closer to realizing our mission. A few standout achievements from my team this year include the acquisition of bikeshare system Motivate, and becoming the first major tech company to IPO in 2019.
