New to our list this year in the No. 1 spot are Bock and Atlanta-based Travelport, which provides transaction processing services to the global travel industry, with 3,500 employees and locations in 170 countries. He’s one of those bright new GCs who offer double value, serving also as the company’s chief administrative officer, a title he added in 2009. Include his role as chief compliance and ethics officer, and that might be double times two. He plays a key role in strategic planning as well. Previously he was executive vice president, law, for Cendant Corp. During his nine years there he helped to divide Cendant into four separate companies in 2006: Travelport, Realogy, Wyndam Worldwide and Avis Budget Group. Before joining Cendant, Bock worked for Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
