Cengage, an education and technology company, has announced the promotion of Laura Stevens to Executive Vice President and General Counsel. Laura's appointment recognises her valuable accomplishments since joining Cengage in 2003, including overall efforts to ready the business for the transition to digital. Based in the Boston headquarters, Laura will serve on the Executive Team and will lead the Legal function in support of the Company's strategy.
In her previous role as Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, Laura designed and recruited a 50+ person legal team to reflect a rapid print-to-digital transformation. In addition, she established the Cengage Privacy Office, creating industry-leading standards for responsible data stewardship. Laura continues to drive legal efforts around industry-wide implementation of anti-piracy Best Practices with partners, which have resulted in a double-digit decrease in counterfeit texts among some of the Company's largest distributors.
Over the past fifteen years, Laura served a number of roles within the Cengage (and formerly Thomson Learning) legal team including Assistant General Counsel, Intellectual Property, and Publishing Counsel. Prior to Cengage, Laura was an attorney at Brown Raysman LLP in New York City.
