My in-house career started in 1990, when a recruiter called to ask if I was interested in becoming GC of General Electric Company’s plastics division. GE is based in Connecticut, and at the time, I was a partner in the Miami office of Baker & McKenzie. I thought seriously about the consequences of uprooting my young children.
