Winburne had already demonstrated a comparable savvy for working with corporate clients as Vice President of Business strategy for Wells Fargo Commercial Banking. In this position she was responsible for providing entrepreneurs and leaders of middle-market companies with the financial innovations, tools, products and services they needed to build their fledgling businesses into thriving enterprises.

Winburne also has an impressive track record as a marketing leader and strategist. She served as National director of Sales & Marketing at Baker Robbins & Company. Her resounding success as leader of this privately-held middle-market company's sales and marketing efforts contributed to the growth of Fortune 1,000 general counsel offices and top-200 law global law firms through the implementation of innovative technology solutions.
