The former chief legal officer of Public Storage will be taking her legal talents to Arrow Electronics as its senior vice president and chief legal officer.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Lily Yan Hughes begins at Centennial, Colorado-based Arrow this month. She will report to the company's CEO, Michael J. Long.

“I am excited to lead the global legal organization at Arrow, and being a trusted partner with my colleagues around the world. I look forward to continuing to support excellence, diversity, inclusion and belonging in my new role and Denver community,” Hughes said in an email.

Hughes most recently worked as the chief legal officer at Public Storage in Glendale, California. She left Public Storage in May to be closer to her family, according to a previous report in Corporate Counsel.

Before joining Public Storage, she worked as vice president and associate general counsel of Ingram Micro and associate director at City of Hope. She has held an associate and partner role at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips in Los Angeles. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. Hughes also sits on the global board of directors at the Association of Corporate Counsel.

Hughes was given a National Women in Law Award by Corporate Counsel in December.

“Lily's extensive international business and technology industry experience makes her the ideal executive to lead our global legal organization,” Long said in the press release.

Hughes replaces Gregory Tarpinian who became the senior vice president and chief legal officer of Arrow in 2015. It is not clear if Tarpinian has another job lined up.

Arrow Electronics is a Fortune 500 company with 20,100 employees worldwide that sells electronic components for different technologies.
