Joining Enfusion in 2020, Matt Campobasso was the third attorney to join the growing company’s legal department. Since that time, Matt, who assumed the role of general counsel and corporate secretary in November 2022, and his team have evolved the legal function from one that was overwhelmingly reactive to one that approaches risk in a proactive and “upstream” manner in order to prevent problems before they arise. Along the way, Matt has helped Enfusion transition from a private company to one that was listed on the New York Stock Exchange through its October 2021 IPO. Matt’s values and guidance drive the legal team’s work, urging them to “be brief, brilliant, and indispensable”.
Enfusion’s legal is committed to finding solutions and not saying no unless there is no other way. The team strives to build solid relationships with every part of the organization. As Matt points out, “Knowing the law is not enough, Enfusion’s lawyers must know our company, our products, and our market.” For companies with a profile like Enfusion’s, which do not have a legal department with unlimited resources, Matt’s focus is “keeping the trains running on time, but also finding the time to look forward and lay the train tracks that will allow the business to scale and grow efficiently and, in a risk-aware manner”.
