Meredith is taking a well-deserved break for a couple of weeks & Liz is still out on leave, so the newest member of our editorial team, Meaghan Nelson, is taking a turn at blogging. Meaghan’s been working with us for the past several months updating our Handbooks, but now she’s stepping out into a more public role as a blogger – and I think you’ll really enjoy her stuff.  Now, I’ll turn this blog over to Meaghan and let her tell you a little more about herself in her own words:

Hello, everyone! I’ve been working with the editorial team the last several months behind the scenes and am now ready for prime time (although truth be told, I did make a brief guest appearance back in 2021)! I’ll be cutting my teeth on The Advisors’ Blog over on CompensationStandards.com this week and will be making appearances on the other blogs in due time.

As the blog title alludes to, I’ve been a huge fan of CCR Corp for the entirety of my practice and am thrilled to join these illustrious ranks. My only hope is that I can deliver the important and timely corporate and securities news and practical tips we’ve all come to enjoy with the same level of humor and pith as my fellow editors. At the bare minimum, I’ll continue the current trend of increasing exclamation points and millennial pop culture references.

A few things about me:

I’ve been a corporate and securities lawyer for the last 14 years, the last 8 of which were spent in-house building corporate teams and leading the legal function. I’ve worked in finance, big law (both NYC and Silicon Valley), at companies both newly public and public for decades, and, most recently, at a late-stage start-up that is on the path to an IPO whenever that window opens again. More details on my background are in my bio.

I currently live in Boise, ID having relocated in the summer of 2021. As a newly minted Idahoan and a person married to an actual Midwesterner, I feel compelled to issue a PSA that we’re in the Mountain West not the Midwest. While Idaho is my home now, I’m a native Californian who has lived all over—SF Bay Area for a decade and before that (at various points of time): NYC, Illinois, Tennessee, Georgia, Maine, Florida, Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, West Virginia, Kansas, and California. I credit my extroversion to all that moving and enjoy being able to make a regional connection with nearly everyone I meet.

I look forward to sharing my experiences as both outside and in-house counsel and keeping you all up to date. I’d love to hear from you regarding any ideas you have on what would be interesting to read and hear about (mnelson@ccrcorp.com). Thank you for being a part of this community!
