A couple of years ago musical artist Jay Z made a very public complaint about the lack of Black-American arbitrators available to appoint in a dispute he was involved in—that complaint got a lot of people thinking. Several years later, that thinking has culminated in a new list—Black arbitration professionals with a US Connection (a big title for a big idea) – pioneered by Dr. Katherine Simpson and Ms. Nancy Thevenin, the idea brought together a group of people like never before.
That most recent accomplishment is just one of many in the story of this week’s, and Season 2’s final guest, Nancy Thevenin. Nancy has worked in private practice, as a deputy director at the ICC, as a corporate counsel and maintains her own practice as a neutral. She tells the story of her journey through each of those positions and how each has shaped her professional identity.
What a dynamic and striking end to Season 2, enjoy the show!
