Mark Chandler learned early on that he didn’t love practicing law in a law firm. Instead, he discovered a love for being inside a company, serving consumers and building products. His first GC role was for the disk drive company Maxtor in 1988, followed by a position as the top lawyer at StrataCom. From there, he spent the next 25 years working at Cisco, 20 of those as GC.

Topics covered:

- Bringing a business-minded approach to the legal team

- 2 principles critical to an effective culture

- The impact of technology on legal departments over the years

- How being a part of the growth story of a company is key to the GC role today
