Tod Reichert

General Counsel / Chief Administrative Officer

United States (Illinois)
Employed Open to opportunities
I am a General Counsel, C-suite operator, and board member with two-plus decades of advising boards and independent directors of public and private companies and funds on governance, fiduciary duties, transactions, capital markets, regulatory developments, and board processes. My experience on both sides of the boardroom table gives me the deep perspective of driving shareholder value, navigating through rapidly changing and challenging regulatory environments, delivering improved operational performance, enhancing cost savings, and safeguarding company interests during major market and corporate stress events.

Throughout my career, I have focused on helping executive teams, boards, and stakeholders navigate consequential decisions where legal judgment, institutional context, and reputational considerations intersect.

➤ Legal, Operational, & Risk Leadership

I currently serve as Managing Director, General Counsel, and Chief Administrative Officer of OFS Capital Management, where I lead the legal and operational functions and advise on governance, regulatory strategy, litigation, and enterprise risk across a complex investment platform. Through my operational leadership, I ensure that strategic objectives are translated into tactical business plans to effectively grow and bolster the financial strength and efficiency of the organization. I motivate and mentor a high-performing team, building an inclusive culture so that members thrive while executing on business goals.

Previously, as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer of a publicly traded investment company, MCG Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: MCGC), I advised the board and senior leadership on corporate governance, fiduciary obligations, disclosure, and litigation strategy while managing the legal and compliance functions. I concurrently served on MCG’s Credit Committee and the SBIC Investment Committee, and guided the organization through proxy contests, major strategic transactions, and complex regulatory environments.

➤ Board & Committee Leadership

My board and committee leadership spans a distinguished record of service for investors, fund affiliate and subsidiary boards, SBIC investment committees, and non-profits across key areas of corporate governance, SEC reporting, audit and disclosure risk, entity formation, sustainability, change of control, compliance, codes of ethics, regulatory leadership, enterprise risk, and operational risk.

I am also engaged in corporate governance thought leadership and serve as an advisory board member for the Rutgers Law School Center for Corporate Law and Governance.
