TESTIMONIALS

MARY ANN HYNES
Senior Counsel, Dentons

"We all face practical leadership challenges every day–and yet often, need trusted people we can discuss them with. The Vanguard Network is a great way to talk with peer executives about the things that really matter, and get actionable feedback."

PAUL HASTINGS
President and CEO, Nkarta Therapeutics

"The value of the Vanguard is that we learn, we can help people learn and we can all do it together and we can share ideas and do it in a forum where there are closed doors and you can really roll up your sleeves and talk about it."

HEATHER FRENCH
Chief Legal Officer, Corporate Secretary, GHX

"Networking plays a critical part in our roles today. Vanguard provides a unique platform for senior counsel where candid conversations about real issues can take place and lasting introductions made. I certainly benefited from this on my journey to GC.”

DAVID PYOTT

"Vanguard has a special touch in creating intimate top leader conversations, about things that really matter. For CEOs, this is a rare opportunity to sharpen their leadership edge with practical tips, while building important networks for the long term."

PATRICIA ASTORGA
Chief Legal Officer, Mintz Group

"It is light years of knowledge all in one day. It is a network and resources that you will gain from this one day.”

RICHARD ALLEYNE
General Counsel, Munich RE

"We're all really smart lawyers, but there are some issues with no right answer, and getting a group of folks of this level in the room really helps drive the thinking around some of the more sensitive issues."

BRANDON SMITH

Executive Vice President & General Counsel, CHS Inc.

"Without a roadmap, it can be challenging to navigate new terrain. Similarly, many may find it difficult to chart their path to a senior leadership role. Vanguard has done an excellent job developing a program that can support junior executives during their career journey–by providing a unique forum to discuss and learn from real-world issues, while also providing access to world-class coaching from blue-chip corporate leaders."

KATE BARTON
CEO-elect, Dentons Global

"People were really transparent and shared the big issues that are on their mind and more importantly what they're going to do differently in 2024."

TOM SABATINO
Former General Counsel, Rite Aid

"One quality sets apart successful companies and successful executives: high-performance leadership. Developing great leaders, and supporting their work, is where the Vanguard team really excels.”
