About
I am a board director, general counsel, and governance leader with 25 years across financial services, fintech, and digital assets. I help complex, regulated and tech companies grow without losing the confidence of investors, regulators and boards. On the board of GMO-Z.com Trust Company, an NYDFS-regulated stablecoin issuer, I chair the Compliance
Committee and serve on the Audit Committee. I am Chief Legal Officer at AdvisorEngine, a wealthtech firm owned by Franklin Templeton, where I have advised the CEO from startup through acquisition, including fundraising and M&A. As Global Policy Lead at the Stablecoin Standard, I help set global standards for digital money. Through Warburton Advisers, the firm I founded, I advise boards, CEOs, CCOs and general counsel on governance, regulatory strategy, M&A, and digital asset structuring. Earlier I built and led legal and compliance programs at Guggenheim, Brown Brothers Harriman, and AXA, reporting to '40 Act fund boards and regulators across Europe, Asia and the US including the SEC, CFTC, NFA, NYDFS, and FinCEN. I worked on Capitol Hill and as a litigator. I wrote Triple Bottom-Line Compliance and invented and patented a compliance and regulatory technology tool. I work at the front edge of how technology is changing governance, including AI oversight, and hold a certification in generative AI for the legal profession. I co-chair the Web3 subcommittee of the New York City Bar Association and formerly held Series 7, 24, and 14 registrations. I take on a small number of board, advisory, and general counsel roles with institutions building in technology, digital assets, and financial services. If that describes your board or your challenge, I would welcome the conversation.
