Sullivan & Cromwell is a well known law firm in New York City with an established history. In 2021 they hired us to create a video highlighting the success of S&C alumni, their career growth and the resources that S&C provides to support their alumni. We used combination of professionally produced interviews, client submitted photos and b-roll footage of the interviewees in their working environments.

Video Transcription:
Alumni are a critical part of our firm's strength and success. We take immense pride in the accomplishments and contributions of our lawyers, not only during their time at S&C, but for the entirety of their careers. I started at S&C in 2008. I was assigned to an IPO for a client that I actually continued then to work with for eight years. My practice really mapped to the life of a few particular businesses, and you kind of grow up with those companies as they grow up, which is fun and exciting. I think there's an incredible amount of training, both on the legal nuts and bolts, but also how to deal with clients and be seen as a strategic partner. I was primarily focused on capital markets and securities in Tokyo, but I was encouraged to join the M&A group when I came back to New York. That gave me a broad-based set of experiences and skills that prepared me tremendously well for an in-house role and eventually the general counsel role that I have now. Last year in October, I was named general counsel of Kayak and OpenTable. I'm the general counsel of Stash. We are a digital financial services platform. What S&C does is give you building blocks to be able to look at questions that you've never seen before, and analyze the facts and the law, and come up with good advice or a good resolution quickly and confidently. The concept for the Career and Alumni Resource Center came from a whiteboard ideation session that we held with associates. Since we launched the program in 2016, we've placed current and former lawyers of all seniority levels in new roles, and we've been able to support our alumni who are hiring. I contacted the center and started having preliminary discussions. It really helped me target what kind of jobs am I looking for. Stash was one of those opportunities that came in the door that really fit. I'm thrilled that there's a place now that I can easily go and access in the Career Resource Center when I'm looking to fill a position on my team. There's a sense of camaraderie between S&C alumni, that even if you didn't know them, they're willing to talk to you, to advise you, to mentor you, to help you, and really usher you along the way. One of my first calls or emails when I have a thorny question, in addition to my internal team, is to go to what I think of almost as my external team of friends and people that I used to work with at S&C. I was a young lawyer when I started S&C. Eight years, to me, was a big piece of my life that I spent working really hard, but also creating lifelong friends and mentors. It's something pretty special. Our ongoing connections as colleagues and friends are highly valued by all of us. Thank you for being and remaining part of the S&C family.
