<strong>Legal team size:</strong> 18 across US and Canada

<strong>What projects are you most proud to have worked on over the past 12 months?</strong.

My team is currently working on all manner of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup across 16 cities and three countries. Every area of law arises in such projects, and we will take those learnings into our equally exciting Los Angeles Olympics 2028 project. The aspect of the job of which I remain most proud each year is our ability to attract and retain top talent from diverse backgrounds and to support their career growth aspirations.

<strong>Have you had any experiences during your career as a lawyer that stand out as particularly unique or interesting?</strong>

Everything we do at Coca-Cola turns out to be interesting! Every film you watch features an advert approved by our team, and every trip to the shops reveals a new packaging design we have reviewed. Every holiday, major sporting event, flight, grocery visit, or evening at a local restaurant presents a fresh opportunity to take pride in the brand and the work my team delivers.

<strong>How does your team contribute to the overall business strategy of the company?</strong>

Legal has a seat at the leadership table to contribute to strategy from the very outset at Coca-Cola. Whether it is an acquisition, a new marketing campaign, or a response to a current geopolitical issue, Legal is regarded as a strategist and business-minded professional who just happens to hold a law degree.
