Counseling Amazon.com On Its Growth, L. Michelle Wilson Is Very Cool!
Those who use Amazon.com’s Amazon Prime service for streaming videos have had a good few months recently. The Amazon.com library of available videos has only been growing in recent months. While Steven Kessel, the company’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Digital Media, deserves a lot of credit for the arrangements that provide users with more and more digital video files, there is an unsung hero of Amazon who deserves equal praise. No matter what arrangements Kessel makes, no relationship between Amazon.com and production studios or distribution companies is complete until is passes muster with L. Michelle Wilson!
L. Michelle Wilson is the Senior Vice President, General Counsel of Amazon.com. In her role as General Counsel, L. Michelle Wilson oversees Amazon.com’s legal department and is responsible for approving all of the business arrangements other executives make before they go to the Board of Directors for final approval. Without her negotiating abilities and keen, detail-oriented mind, Amazon would not be able to enter into all of its new arrangements with media providers and remain as profitable as it is!
That L. Michelle Wilson is such a skilled negotiator and is able to provide such good legal direction to Amazon is no surprise; she has a history of success and has long illustrated an acumen for legal thinking. Wilson attended the University of Washington, where she earned a Bachelor’s of Arts in Finance. She followed up her Finance degree at the University of Chicago. At the University of Chicago, L. Michelle Wilson distinguished herself by earning her J.D. with honors.
Armed with her impressive degrees, L. Michelle Wilson entered the legal field at Perkins Coie. It did not take long before the partners there recognized Wilson as an asset in matters pertaining to Internet-based companies. By 1994, when Wilson made partner at the firm, she was an acknowledged expert in mergers and acquisitions and securities and corporate law issues as they pertained to Internet-based companies. That expertise made L. Michelle Wilson highly sought after by many emerging Internet-based businesses.
After eleven years with Perkins Coie, Amazon.com approached L. Michelle Wilson and hired her as Associate General Counsel for finance and mergers. Less than five months after her initial hiring, Wilson was promoted to Vice President and General Counsel. In that role, L. Michelle Wilson has overseen the legal department of Amazon.com and had her hand in approving every major legal decision the company has made ever since!
L. Michelle Wilson has provided the legal guidance Amazon.com needed during its largest period of growth and with her continued counsel, the Internet sales giant shows no sign of slowing down.
