Anna Hughes
General Counsel
PREPARED IN RESPECT OF: General Counsel, TMT · Long Ridge Capital
Dear Sir or Madam,
It is with considerable enthusiasm that we present Anna Hughes for the position of General Counsel, TMT. Her seventeen-year trajectory across listed industrials and private equity-backed platforms maps unusually closely to the brief.
Most recently Group General Counsel at Wilkinson Barker plc, Anna led the legal workstream on a $2.4bn cross-border carve-out and built the disclosure and governance framework now adopted across the group. Her counsel to the board through two activist campaigns and a Phase II antitrust review speaks directly to the demands of this mandate.
KEY STRENGTHS FOR THIS ROLE
- —Led a $2.4bn cross-border carve-out, closed nine months ahead of plan.
- —Chairs the data-protection and disclosure committee across the platform's portfolio.
- —Trusted counsel to two boards through activist campaigns and regulatory inquiry.
We regard Anna among the most capable general counsel of her generation, and would be glad to arrange an introduction at your convenience.
Yours faithfully,
EXECUTIVE SEARCH
