Susannah Stroud Wright, Credit Karma
A strong compliance background with Elon Musk’s Tesla and Solar City prepared Susannah Stroud Wright for her first CLO role at Credit Karma.
Becoming general counsel was actually not anything I ever planned. What led me here was a series of jumping on opportunities and being willing to take a few risks along the way.
After law school, I clerked for a judge, then I was at a law firm for a couple of years, and then I went to the District Attorney’s office. I always wanted to be a trial lawyer, and I really loved the criminal side of law. I thought I would be a prosecutor for the rest of my career.
