Ellis alumna makes WSJ headlines as "problem solver"

Kudos to Ellis alumna Lucy Fato '84. She made headlines again in the Wall Street Journal, this time for her quick and thorough work resolving a significant legal dispute on behalf of McGraw Hill Financial Inc., where she was named general counsel over the summer. The February 3 WSJ article stated that, "Barely six months into her tenure, the 48-year-old Ms. Fato already has resolved a major legal headache for her new employer as lead negotiator on a $1.5 billion settlement with the Justice Department announced Tuesday."
The Journal went on to say that Fato had a reputation for being a problem solver  and  "...on her first day as general counsel last August, Ms. Fato phoned several government lawyers by 9:15 a.m.,  according to people familiar with the matter. She stressed in those talks, the people said, that she liked to establish personal relationships to help resolve deals."
