Krista McDonough joined Michael Kors in 2011, and has been Deputy General Counsel since June 2015. Previously she was at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. She has a law degree from New York Law School.
“Since joining Michael Kors, Krista has been an integral part of the Legal Department. She brings many strengths to this position,” says Mr. Idol, “including valuable experience in corporate governance, securities law, employment matters and intellectual property enforcement.”
Ms. McDonough succeeds Lee Sporn who, after 13 years as Michael Kors’ General Counsel, is retiring to become a full-time law professor. “I am very grateful for Lee’s many contributions to Michael Kors,” says Mr. Idol. “He has been a strong and important partner to me and to the leadership team.”
