Speaking on his time with PagerDuty, he writes: ‘I’m deeply thankful to our CEO, CFO and the entire leadership team for their trust, partnership and steady leadership. And to the broader PagerDuty team: thank you for the collaboration, the resilience, the humor and the shared commitment to building something that truly matters.’

Over at crypto platform Gemini, the company has confirmed the departure of chief legal officer, Tyler Meade.

Meade’s resignation comes as Gemini’s chief operating officer Marshall Beard and CFO Dan Chen also leave their positions.

Kate Freedman will take over as interim general counsel of the company, indirectly succeeding Meade in his role.

Freedman has served as Gemini’s associate general counsel and corporate secretary since November 2025. From 2024 to November 2025, she served as the company’s senior corporate counsel. Prior to joining the company in 2024, Freedman served as assistant general counsel of Stash Financial.

Elsewhere, Martin Marietta Materials has appointed George Schoen as EVP, general counsel and corporate secretary.

Set to join the company in March 2026, Schoen recently served as co-chair of the global mergers and acquisitions practice at Cravath, Swaine & Moore.

During his time at Cravath, Schoen was part of several high-profile transactions such as Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox, Occidental Petroleum’s acquisition of Anadarko and Precision Castparts’ acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway.

‘[Schoen’s] extraordinary experience leading major public company transactions, combined with his deep understanding of corporate governance, and his superb advice to Martin Marietta over the years as outside counsel, make him uniquely suited to lead our legal function as we continue advancing our strategic and operational goals. We are delighted to welcome him to Martin Marietta,’ says Martin Marietta Materials chair and CEO Ward Nye.

At the same time, NYSE-listed Hamilton Insurance Group has confirmed the promotion of Moussa Thiam to group head of compliance.

Thiam previously served as the company’s global head of compliance. In his new role, he will lead and coordinate compliance activities across Hamilton’s global operations while reporting to group general counsel, Gemma Carreiro.

Before joining Hamilton in December 2024, Thiam served as head of cross-border and international compliance at Beazley and held several compliance and regulatory advisory roles at MS Amlin, the Financial Ombudsman Service and Lloyd’s Banking Group.

In Richmond, Virginia, Markel Insurance, part of Markel Group, has confirmed that Colin Wildey has been promoted to chief risk officer for Markel International.

Wildey has been head of risk for Markel International since 2022. Prior to joining Markel, he was UK chief risk officer and group head of risk and capital at Fidelis Insurance. Earlier in his career, he held roles in risk management, consulting and underwriting at various firms in the UK, Ireland, Bermuda, Australia and New Zealand.

Lastly, Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathy Ruemmler is set to resign from her role this summer following the release of documents by the US Department of Justice which revealed her ties with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking to The Financial Times (paywall), Ruemmler confirmed that she will step down on June 30, saying: ‘I made the determination that the media attention on me, relating to my prior work as a defense attorney, was becoming a distraction.’

She also expressed regret over her connections with Epstein and said that she had no knowledge of his criminal activities. ‘I made decisions based on the information that was available to me. I have an enormous amount of sympathy and heartache for anyone who he hurt,’ she adds.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon notes that Ruemmler will be missed and adds that during her time with the company, she ‘has been an extraordinary general counsel, and we are grateful for her contributions and sound advice on a wide range of consequential legal matters for the firm.’

The company has not named Ruemmler’s successor.
