Akin private equity partner Amy Wollensack appeared on The Deal’s “Drinks With The Deal” podcast to discuss her unique career path from nurse practitioner to lawyer and her perspective on talent management, mentorship and artificial intelligence.  

Amy worked for several years as a nurse practitioner between college and law school, an experience she says has informed her legal practice and equipped her to manage high‑pressure situations and challenging personalities. 

“The stakes are very high in both careers,” said Amy. “Having that background helped with being able to make fast-paced decisions in high-stakes matters.”
