In this 21-minute episode of the Women Governance Trailblazers podcast, Courtney Kamlet and I spoke with Wei Chen – who serves as Chief Legal Officer and Executive Vice President of Government Affairs at Infoblox, and also founded The Atticus Project. We discussed:

1. Key leadership lessons that have shaped Wei’s approach to governance and compliance across different corporate cultures.

2. Wei’s vision for The Atticus Project to use AI tools to transform contract review and M&A diligence in corporate legal environments.

3. Practices boards can adopt to oversee technology risks and opportunities — including how to prepare for evolving regulations and use cases.

4. How governance professionals can credibly add value to corporate AI practices, in order to encourage responsible use of AI while also harnessing opportunities.

5. Wei’s vision for how AI will reshape corporate governance and the role of legal advisors in the next 5-10 years, and Wei’s advice for the next generation of women governance trailblazers.
