Katie Barrett - Anheuser-Busch InBev: Championing Female Leadership

It was clear to Katie Barrett from an early age that she was destined for a career in law. Indeed, early — and frequent — arguments with her parents clearly proved she had a knack for the art of persuasion. Her early practice was focused on litigation — both in private practice, and subsequently, in-house with Anheuser-Busch InBev — and she credits that focus with creating valuable connections across the organization and providing a master class on how a business is run. Today, as Global General Counsel, she cultivates a culture of diversity and support so that those with an aptitude for collaboration can advance and thrive within the organization. In this episode, we discuss: - Why early experience with litigation is great in a legal career - How to develop a global team of experts - Why collaboration is such an important leadership skill - Fostering a culture of female leadership *Hear more stories by subscribing to Innovative Legal Leadership on** Apple Podcasts**, **Spotify**, or any podcast platform.* *Listening on a desktop & can’t see the links?
