In 2007, Byrne led the teams advising Altria on the $62 billion spin-off of Kraft, the $1.1 billion initial public offering of VMWare’s carve-out from EMC, and GE on the $11.6 billion sale of its plastics business to SABIC. In 2008, she led the teams advising Altria on the $113 billion spin-off of Phillip Morris International, as well as the $8 billion strategic partnership between Mubadala and GE.
