Laureate Education has hired Victoria Silbey as its new senior vice president, corporate secretary and chief legal officer (CLO).
Silbey joined Laureate on September 7. She was most recently CLO for SunGard Data Systems. FIS acquired SunGard in 2015. Earlier in her career, Silbey was a litigation attorney at Morgan Lewis & Bockius. Laureate operates a network of almost 70 campus-based and online universities in 25 countries.
Silbey now reports to Laureate president and chief administrative officer Eilif Serck-Hanssen. She is based in Baltimore, Maryland and is a member of the executive management team with responsibility for all global legal affairs, corporate governance, regulatory matters, ethics and compliance. She succeeds Robert Zentz who is retiring after serving as Laureate’s general counsel for 20 years.
‘We are excited to welcome Victoria, an impressive and experienced leader to the Laureate team,’ Serck-Hanssen says in a statement. ‘Her diverse combination of expertise in the legal, business and technology fields, in addition to her outcome-driven leadership credentials, are a perfect match for our company.’
