“In my role as General Counsel of Big Heart Pet Brands and Del Monte Foods, I had the pleasure of working with Bettina for over 5 years. She is a highly regarded legal professional valued by her clients for her keen business acumen, sharp mind and collaborative spirit. Bettina was sought out by her clients for her practical advice and solution-oriented approach. Rare among lawyers, Bettina was welcomed as part of her client’s team because she developed solutions rather than simply reciting legal risks involved. She thinks outside the box and can develop creative solutions to difficult problems. Bettina always had a great attitude and was always ready to take on more responsibilities. Although she was hired primarily as a Labor & Employment attorney, she eagerly took on the Privacy realm, attaining her IAPP certification as a CIPP/US. Then she went on to take over management of all company litigation and environmental compliance matters and played essential roles in major M&A transactions. With each addition, Bettina was a quick learner and eager for the challenge. She worked well with senior management who trusted her to get the job done right, on time and on budget. She was also respected by her peers and was a great mentor and leader to those she supervised. Bettina would be a great addition to any team. ”
