Yael Tzipori has been named this year’s recipient of Sullivan & Cromwell’s Alexandra D. Korry Award.
The award, established in 2021, honors the memory and legacy of the late S&C partner Alexandra D. Korry. A passionate leader, a dedicated mentor and one of the first women partners in S&C’s M&A group, Alexandra was a trailblazer throughout her legal career. To honor that legacy, the Alexandra D. Korry Award recognizes an individual, nominated by a member of the S&C community, who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and commitment to supporting, mentoring and serving as a resource to women at S&C and in the legal profession during the preceding year.
As Special Counsel in the Financial Institutions Group and Co-Chair of the LGBTQ+ Network, Yael has shown remarkable dedication to mentoring and guiding associates and facilitating opportunities to connect with others in the industry. Yael’s commitment to fostering an inclusive community shines through her mentorship, and she has served as a mentor by sharing her career path and experience as a working mother.
“Authenticity helps you work better,” said Yael, highlighting the importance of bringing your true self to work and the power of creating an inclusive environment.
