DEBORAH P. MAJORAS IS CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER AND SECRETARY OF the Procter & Gamble Co., based in Cincinnati.
She graduated from Westminster College and the University of Virginia School of Law. She had a federal clerkship, then worked for Jones Day. She then became a deputy assistant attorney general, and in 2004 was appointed chair of the Federal Trade Commission. Later, she was named chief legal officer at P&G. P&G is a global company with more than $65 billion in annual sales and about 95,000 employees. As chief legal officer, Majoras leads P&G's legal, ethics and compliance, government relations, and anti-counterfeiting functions. She is also the company's corporate secretary and an executive co-sponsor of the company's Citizenship Board. She is also the executive sponsor of P&G's Gay, Ally, Bisexual, Lesbian & Transgender Employees (GABLE) group. She is a member of the board of directors of the Valero Energy Corp., The Christ Hospital Health Network and the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, and is the chair of the board of trustees of Westminster College.
LEGAL TEAM: The legal team has over 500 employees. More than 300 are attorneys, and they work in nearly 50 countries. "P&G's legal division is typically viewed as tilting relatively heavily toward doing work in-house," Majoras said. "Our lawyers and other legal professionals do not just perform the routine work while outsourcing the rest. On the contrary, they are experts in their fields and also know our business extremely well, and so they handle a great deal of legal work themselves."
