    Janine served in a number of roles during her nearly 10-year tenure at DHS, including as Deputy Director, Foreign Investment Risk Management, and as an Attorney Advisor in the Office of the General Counsel. She advised Department leadership and component offices on matters relating to CFIUS and Team Telecom, assisted with compliance oversight of CFIUS national security agreements, and negotiated national security risk mitigation measures with corporate counsel for companies under review and investigation by CFIUS and Team Telecom.

Prior to joining the firm, Janine was a Government Relations Manager at Cummins Inc., where she established relationships with key stakeholders in Congress, the executive branch, and industry, and monitored and analyzed legislative and regulatory activities related to international trade.
