In this candid and informal panel discussion, Mark Guillet and Tim Gitzel—both former General Counsels turned CEOs—will share personal insights and lessons from their journeys from legal leadership to corporate command. They’ll explore the skills that translated well from the GC role to the CEO position, the gaps they had to overcome, and the mindset shifts required to lead an organization at the highest level.

Key topics will include:

• Developing the strategic, operational, and leadership capabilities needed for broader business roles
• Identifying and leveraging opportunities for in-house counsel to expand their influence beyond legal
• Navigating today’s complex political and geopolitical landscape
• Understanding how the rule of law informs long-term corporate objectives, governance, and ethical strategy in both national and global contexts
   

Whether you’re contemplating a broader business path or simply looking to enhance your strategic impact as in-house counsel, this conversation will offer inspiration and practical insights from two professionals who’ve successfully walked that path.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a rare CEO perspective—rooted in legal experience—on leadership, strategy, and the evolving role of in-house counsel in today’s dynamic corporate environment
