At Amanah

He decides how Amanah is put in front of institutions. It is the same work he did at the largest scale his profession offers, and he has done it as a principal as well: a serial entrepreneur across technology and other sectors, and a dealmaker with 500bn dollars in transactions behind him.

He co-founded Dentons, the largest law firm in the world, built across 92 countries, and was its founding Global Chairman for ten years. Before that he chaired SNR Denton, and was a partner at Sonnenschein Nath and Rosenthal and at Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft, across more than forty years of corporate practice and a long run of corporate and non-profit boards.

Outside the law he may be best known as the former National Chair of the Democratic National Committee during President Clinton's second term. He is a published novelist, writes for Forbes on leadership and the business of law, and took his JD at Yale.
