EXPERIENCE
SENIOR LEGAL LEADERSHIP
Kelli Collins most recently served as Vice President and Regional General Counsel at a security technology company where she led a team responsible for supporting business leaders across commercial, product and strategic matters.
Extensive experience with pivotal milestones that transform an organization’s legal strategy, including: rapid growth, international expansion, acquisitions, mergers, an IPO, as well as changes in ownership and executive teams.
GROWTH & TRANSFORMATION
COMMERCIAL DEPTH
Over a decade of leadership supporting strategic commercial transactions across businesses generating $50M to +$1 billion in annual recurring revenue, including complex customer agreements, strategic partnerships with global system integrators, and transactions in highly regulated industries.
LEADERSHIP WHEN IT MATTERS
A career of stepping beyond formal roles to drive business forward at critical junctures, including serving as the senior legal leader during periods of transition, and successfully taking ownership of functions or regions without dedicated legal leadership.
WHAT ALTA BRINGS TO THE WORK
COMMERCIAL JUDGMENT
Years spent negotiating complex technology transactions and deciding which issues actually warrant attention.
CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TRUST
A career spent working closely with Sales, Finance, Product, Security, Privacy and Partner teams.
EXECUTIVE PERSPECTIVE
Experience advising C-suite and senior leaders, fielding legal questions in the context of broader business priorities.
PRACTICAL EXECUTION
Senior enough to advise on strategy, but still comfortable getting directly into the contract, negotiation or project when the business requires.
A different way to practice.
WHY ALTA
Alta was founded by Kelli Collins to bring the kind of commercial support she valued most in-house: responsive, practical, and company-specific.
Sometimes that means helping build a commercial legal function for the next stage of growth. Sometimes it means stepping in as fractional or interim legal leadership. And sometimes it means taking ownership of an important deal and getting it done.
ALTA meets companies where they are and provides the level of experience the situation calls for.
Find the way forward.
