Brad Slutsky, an accomplished attorney with extensive experience representing top global corporations, will serve as Emory’s next senior vice president and general counsel, President Gregory L. Fenves announced. Slutsky will join the university May 6.
“Brad has tremendous experience in the private sector, yet he also has a strong understanding of the issues shaping higher education and health care nationwide,” says Fenves. “His experience is varied and deep, and he brings a breadth of perspective and strategic expertise that will serve the Emory enterprise well.”
Emory University’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC) provides legal representation to both Emory University and Emory Healthcare.
Slutsky has served most recently as executive vice president and general counsel for Red Ventures, a private equity-backed international digital marketing, health, financial services, technology news and travel company. In this role, he managed a team of 60 attorneys, paralegals and privacy, compliance and procurement professionals supporting operations in the U.S., Europe, Asia and South America.
Prior to his work with Red Ventures, he served as senior vice president and general counsel for FleetCor Technologies (now known as Corpay), where he managed a legal team supporting operations in more than 50 countries. He holds a JD from the University of Virginia Law School and a bachelor’s degree in business economics from Brown University.
Slutsky also has deep Atlanta roots, with an 18-year career — including more than 10 as partner — at the law firm King & Spalding, where his focus was intellectual property and technology. His many honors include being selected as one of the top 100 Legal Influencers in the U.S. by The Business Journals and winning the 2023 Outstanding Legal Department (Large Company) and 2018 Outstanding General Counsel (Large Legal Department) awards from the Association of Corporate Counsel.
“I am thrilled to be joining the outstanding administration, faculty and staff at Emory University in their mission to create, preserve, teach and apply knowledge in the service of humanity, and to be of service to Emory Healthcare in its treatment of nearly 1 million patients each year,” Slutsky says. “Emory has assembled an incredibly talented and accomplished team in pursuit of this work. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the team to help further education, research and health care for current and future generations.”
