Join us for a conversational, professional development–focused session on how Glenn built his career from records management into a global information governance leadership role and what it actually takes to move from operational work into strategic leadership.
 
Key themes:
•    How early records experience builds the foundation for IG thinking.
•    Developing the business and leadership skills that open doors to director-level roles.
•    Learning to speak the language of value and risk (not just retention).
•    Building credibility, relationships, and timing your career moves.
•    Practical lessons learned from standing up a global IG program in Big Law.
 
This session would be ideal for members interested in growing their IG careers or moving into higher leadership roles. It’s designed to be inspiring but real, with candid lessons about what worked, what didn’t, and how to prepare for the next step.

Presented By:

Glenn Fischer is the Global Director of Information Governance at Mayer Brown, where he leads the firm’s global Information Governance Program across all offices.

At Mayer Brown, he has built and scaled a modern IG program from the ground up - integrating records management, leading change management efforts, and aligning IG with the firm’s risk, compliance, and innovation priorities. He leads a growing global team, develops firmwide training and education programs, implements technology solutions, and partners with stakeholders across IT, legal risk, KM, and operations to strengthen the firm’s data governance posture.
