From a prominent Law Attorney to a U.S. Ambassador in Australia, to leading legal for global expansion with Jeffrey Bleich, Chief Legal Officer at Cruise

In this episode, we are excited to welcome Jeffrey Bleich, Chief Legal Officer at Cruise, a self-driving tech company. Jeff is a prominent attorney, and a former partner at both Munger, Tolles & Olson and Dentons. In his remarkable career, he has also served as special counsel to former President Barack Obama and as a U.S. ambassador to Australia. In addition to this, he was a former board chair at PG&E.

In our conversation, Jeffs shares the story of his time serving as U.S. Ambassador to Australia, the importance of trust-building in international relations, why over-indexing on English is a common mistake when expanding to other countries, why thinking long-term is key to a successful global expansion strategy, and considerations to take before hiring local counsel.
