Kelli O'Donnell, General Counsel
Javelin thrower. Burrito Junkie. Aspiring Green Thumb.
A Massachusetts native, Kelli was once a competitive javelin thrower. These days, she's given up track and field glory for the QUICKHIT Football gridiron. She can often be found enjoying a burrito to keep her going during her long days at QUICKHIT. When she's not on the lookout for Mexican munchies at the office, she is working to improve her "green thumb" in the garden, which is currently more like a dark shade of yellow.
Kelli serves as QUICKHIT's General Counsel, where she is responsible for all legal matters, which include reviewing and negotiating contracts and the management of licensing agreements. A seasoned corporate lawyer with nearly a decade of experience, O'Donnell previously served as Turbine's in-house counsel on various legal affairs, including licensor relationships, commercial contracts and intellectual property issues.

She also held counsel positions at KB Toys as well as at the law firm of Hutchins, Wheeler & Dittmar.
