From the Courtroom to the Boardroom (Law Across The Sea)
Projects of the MacNaughton Group.
Guest Host Connie Chang will speak with Emily Reber Porter, the Chief Operating Officer of The MacNaughton Group. Ms. Porter grew up in Hawaii and became a litigator, first at a large Honolulu law firm and then at a large national law firm. She then became General Counsel at a San Francisco Internet startup and began taking on more business roles, including Chief Administrative Officer and Vice President of Customer and Professional Operations. She is now back home in Hawaii and working as a top executive at a local real estate development, investment, and services company. How did she successfully make this transition from the courtroom to the boardroom and why did she do this? In this program, we will discuss Ms. Porter’s experience as a lawyer-turned-business executive, what she has learned, and her advice to those seeking to make a change. The host for this episode is Connie Chang. The guest for this episode is Emily Reber Porter.
