Teresa is Co-Founder and COO at Southren Group. She is the air-traffic controller of the enterprise, responsible for everything that happens behind the scenes, and between the lines. Teresa supports the team and our clients at every stage of engagement, from the accreditation of programs, managing of vendor and partner relationships, implementation of new technology and systems, execution of contracts and reporting, through managing accounting and back-office processes. 

​

Process is Teresa’s passion, and throughout her 25-year career in law firms she honed and perfected her craft and brings all of that rich learning to Southren Group, and to our clients and partners. She is deeply committed to excellence, loves a check-mark in a box more than just about anything, and keeps the ship running at full efficiency at all times. 

​

Teresa also runs our Operations Management Program, giving small- to mid-sized law firms the support they need, when and how they need it. She knows the operational challenges that firms face, and applies her depth and breadth of expertise to helping our clients navigate them, closing the operations deficiency gap. With a focus on project management, human resources and facilities management and vendor selection, she helps our clients - and us! - cultivate efficient, effective, thriving professional services environments. 

​

Teresa is a mom of three (four if you include her beloved fur-baby), a sailing wife, an avid world traveller, active volunteer and curious learner who is always starting a new project or taking on a new challenge. She’s a real estate investor, a hostess extraordinaire and the calm in every storm. 

​

When she’s not running the show, you’ll find her curling, cottaging, hosting, sipping, eating, laughing, playing and enjoying life to its absolute fullest.
