Katherine  Frierdich

I am an accomplished AMLAW 100 litigator and business-expert General Counsel with a JD and Executive MBA. I have deep and diverse legal, operations, litigation, regulatory, privacy and governance expertise leading organizations through growth, transformation, and complex change.

I combine sharp strategic insight with a hands-on, collaborative style, which translates to exceptional partnerships with senior leadership teams. I have built legal, privacy and compliance functions from the ground up, led multi-entity governance programs, and delivered measurable results – including more than 70% year-over-year cost savings and rapid operational turnaround in high-growth, highly regulated environments. 

I am a bottom- and top-line driven business partner for startups, early growth, and pivoting businesses – not a firefighter. I'm passionate about helping visionary leaders, and those wishing to lead, who are pragmatic, driven, forward-looking and authentic.
