Experience
For ten years prior to her position as Senior Managing Director and Partner at AG Advisors, Tracy worked for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, in the Division of Parole and Community Services. As a parole officer she supervised and managed the release of violent offenders back into the community. She has also worked extensively on behalf of at-risk youth in need of positive adult mentors.

The reports were used by judges to help determine sentencing, as well as parole boards to determine conditions of release. Tracy's experience has created a unique skill set that includes the superior ability to search, locate and articulate complex legal findings for use in a civil or business environment. She has conducted thousands of interviews with law enforcement officials, victims and offenders. Her findings were transformed into a report format utilized at various levels of the judicial system. Tracy's ability to uncover information and intelligence has proven to be particularly useful for clients dealing with mergers, acquisitions and due diligence investigations.
