When Rugger Burke became a general counsel last year, it was the first time he had held such a position. Yet he had a feeling he would do a good job — a doggone good job, in fact.
That’s because the Dallas lawyer cut his teeth in corporate management as chairman of the board at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, better known as the SPCA of Texas. There he says he gained valuable skills he calls on every day as general counsel, principal and co-founder of Satori Capital, a Dallas-based private equity firm he joined last October. The SPCA is also where he got his dog, Peaches.
