With 15+ years of experience in the legal, operations and technology spaces, Whitney has been fortunate to work across a variety of entities with varying levels of maturity: startups, mid-size and large corporations and law firms. This maturity spectrum has required both ground-up people, process and technology analysis and development as well as innovation and optimization in already existing functions.

Whitney has worked with Ford’s Office of General Counsel since 2018, first as an outside consultant, then as seconded counsel, and now in her full-time role as Associate Director and Senior Counsel. In this capacity, Whitney participated in the selection and hiring, and now co-leads, the newly created Policy and Legal Ops+ team and function at Ford Motor Company, including technology initiatives and the use of emerging technologies like Generative AI. Whitney is also an Adjunct Law Professor at ASU School of Law, where she lectures on technology, including artificial intelligence, and the evolution of both in the legal industry.
