Black General Counsel Network Goes Live as Founder Shifts Jobs
The Black General Counsel 2025 Initiative has launched a new online portal designed to help get 100 African American lawyers in chief legal officer or general counsel positions at top companies within the next five years, according to a Bloomberg Law report.
“April Miller Boise, a former managing partner of Thompson Hine’s Cleveland office, co-founded the Black GC Initiative in 2017 with Ernest Tuckett III, a former general counsel of Dutch chemical giant Akzo Nobel NV’s Americas arm. Tuckett joined Thompson Hine’s Chicago office as senior counsel late last year,” writes Bloomberg’s Brian Baxter.
Now Boise has taken a new job as executive vice president and general counsel at Eaton Corp. plc, a global power management conglomerate and Thompson Hine client.
