As founder of the Company, Perry established the Company’s vision and mission, and he guides the company’s executive and management teams.

After nine years with Vinson & Elkins, Heather moved in-house with Transocean, an international provider of offshore contract drilling service, where her practice evolved from primarily securities and transaction focused to include a broad range of responsibilities.
