Jordan Breslow: Former General Counsel Whose Advice Stopped His CEO Going To Jail
Description
In the latest episode of The Crafty Show podcast, we delve into the world of Jordan Breslow, a seasoned former General Counsel whose expert advice and timely intervention saved his CEO from potential jail time.
Jordan talks to us about his experience working in California’s flowering ecosystem of innovation and tech in the past decades. This conversation takes a focused look at Jordan’s time with Opsware and the role he played in preventing his CEO and one of the most important venture capitalists, Ben Horowitz, from facing prison. Jordan reflects on this experience - including the responsibility of the General Counsel in saying “no” when necessary, the question reporting lines for General Counsel, and building a culture grounded in transparency where people can speak up.
