Speaker Bio
Krishna Walker is a business partner, General Counsel, and facilitator of $10+ billion in commercial business transactions over 20 years. Today, she is the GC and part of the senior leadership team of CareVet, a rapidly growing veterinary practice management group with hospitals throughout the United States.
Throughout her career, Krishna has been relied on by corporate and functional leadership for long-term strategic advice on business operations, risk management, and compliance. Her focus is on helping businesses manage changing regulatory, economic, and market conditions, as well as shifts in corporate priorities.
Committed to the idea of the lawyer as a proactive, resourceful, and forward- looking adviser, Krishna is known for: building corporate cultures of integrity and accountability; understanding business and individual drivers, and partnering across all functions and levels of seniority.
Although a corporate generalist, Krishna credits much of her success to her background in banking, financial services, corporate financing, and commercial lending—both as in-house counsel at Rabobank, a Tier 1 global bank with €590.437 billion in total assets, and as an associate at Bryan Cave, an AmLaw 100 law firm. Krishna has also been influenced by her pre-law school career as part of Bank of America’s Human Resources team. She remains committed to recruiting, retaining, and developing individuals so that the entire organization can grow and prosper.
An active community leader, Krishna has served on national and local nonprofit boards—including two years on the Board of Trustees of Ball State University. She is a proud alum of Notre Dame, Columbia, and Ball State. She has received numerous honors and awards, including a Zhi-Xing China Eisenhower Fellowship.
