It’s more important than ever that we focus on managing those changes in a manner aligned to our values and firm strategy to be compelling, digital and global.”

Brackett’s experience spans developing and integrating strategic corporate planning initiatives for global clients, implementing enterprise risk management and corporate governance programs for global companies with complex business models, supporting clients in developing regulatory compliance programs and responding to regulatory compliance matters, and providing strategic coaching and training to boards of directors and audit committees.
