Today on Women In Law, I’m sharing Part II of my 100th Episode! I hope you enjoyed Part I where I checked in with Amy Tu and Samantha Monk. In Part II, I will first be speaking with D’Lonra Ellis, Chief Legal Officer of the Oakland Athletics and Adjunct Professor at UC Law. D’Lonra was my first guest ever on the podcast. It was such a thrill for me over 6 years ago to be able to feature her. At the time, she was Associate General Counsel of the team and since then she has climbed through the ranks, tackling all kinds of legal issues covering a wide array of subject matters. D’Lonra has set herself apart from most lawyers in the industry and all while also teaching law students the ins and outs of “sports law” at UC Law.

After D’Lonra, you’ll hear me speak with Iris Chen. Iris is now the General Counsel of Moloco, which provides machine learning-based advertising solutions to drive growth for businesses of all sizes. Before taking on her first GC role, Iris was Deputy General Counsel at AirBnb and before that VP of Legal at Google where she spent 14 years of her career and where we first met. Iris and I walked through her time at AirBnb and how she gained valuable experience that positioned her for her role at Moloco. Just as she was in our first conversation, Iris is so forthcoming with the best insight and advice to share. I always leave our conversations feeling inspired and encouraged about my career. And this time was no exception.

Please enjoy my conversations with D’Lonra and Iris.
