Testimonials

❖

I have worked with Jessica since 2001. Over the years, through many rounds of financing that Jessica closed for Envivio, and the numerous commercial contracts, Jessica always delivered.

She is a tough but pragmatic negotiator, and is able to resolve legal issues in a business context. Jessica's international experience also proves invaluable to Envivio as Envivio has subsidiaries and affiliates in both Europe and Asia.

I highly recommend Jessica. I find her services invaluable to Envivio over the years and helped us grow to IPO.

My relationship with Jessica dates back to 2000. I remember reviewing a Japanese R&D development service contract with Jessica one evening and her attention to detail and knowledge of the international arena was invaluable in meeting our deadline for closure.

She worked on the service contract beyond the call of duty that evening for it was due in Japan by the end of their work day. Jessica provides a “can do” altitude and is excellent thinking out of the box in resolving complex issues.

Jessica always found time for our requirements and delivered a professional product. I would highly recommend her service because she always delivers on time.

I've known Jessica professionally since 2002. She was corporate counsel for one of my portfolio companies, so I've interacted regularly with her at board meetings over the years, and extensively around significant events such as funding rounds.

I also hired Jessica to represent my firm for a number of investments we led where we needed results within a short timeframe, so I was able to experience first hand what it is like to be a client of Jessica's.

I have found Jessica to be smart yet pragmatic, level-headed, responsive, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I especially appreciated the fact that it was obvious she was more interested in her client's best interests rather than maximizing her billable hours.

I worked with Jessica during my tenure as Commercial Legal Director at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). At CZI, I was working on setting up the company’s commercial legal function. Jessica was one of the first external commercial counsel I onboarded to support review of inbound commercial agreements.

As an individual contributor, Jessica was dedicated to client service, promptly reviewing agreements, responding to other client requests, and providing legal guidance. On top of her deal review work, Jessica also stepped up to support the onboarding and management of the external commercial counsel team, helping to ensure the team could adequately support contract demands.

During my time at CZI, I greatly appreciated Jessica’s proactive drive, strong work ethic, and leadership in managing the external commercial counsel team.

While serving as General Counsel for the innovation unit of a Fortune 50 company, I brought Jessica on as a legal contractor to handle a myriad of contracting issues. During her time there, Jessica became a trusted advisor, providing practical legal advice and creative problem-solving. She applied her breadth of experience and depth of knowledge to develop robust relationships with her clients, and her strong work ethic and positive attitude made her a pleasure to work with.
