Jean's career spans many years in large multi-national corporations and includes three successful entrepreneurial ventures. Along the way, Jean learned that the essence of effective management is the ability to gather and distill important information and make decisions quickly.

Jean began her career in the traditional way, with big law and accounting firms. She did a stint in state government, and then moved to the computer and communications industry. Frustrated with bureaucracy, Jean co-founded and sold two successful companies.

Today, Jean practices business law. She enjoys working with people who are starting a company, or who want to grow their company and stay out of trouble. Her advice is grounded in her first-hand experience as an entrepreneur as well as her knowledge of law, finance and management.

Calling herself a nontraditional lawyer, Jean uses Smart Fast®, a practical and systematic approach to evaluating options and making informed decisions. In contrast to many traditional lawyers, Jean avoids litigation and expensive procedures, striving always to anticipate and resolve business issues.

Jean works collaboratively with other professionals to get the information and expertise needed for sound decisions.

Jean holds a BBA (cum laude) from Ohio University and a Juris Doctorate from Boston University School of Law. She is a Certified Public Accountant and a member of the Bar in Massachusetts. She is also active on many public interest issues.
