Before joining Bracewell, McLeod led SDNY’s Complex Frauds & Cybercrime Unit, supervising a unit of senior prosecutors handling some of the most complex white-collar and cyber matters in federal law enforcement. She oversaw investigations and prosecutions spanning bank fraud, investment and securities fraud, trade secrets theft, money laundering, tax fraud, cryptocurrency fraud, AI-involved fraud, healthcare fraud, bankruptcy fraud, FCPA offense, and national security and criminal cyber matters. She coordinated parallel investigations with the SEC, CFTC, FTC and multiple DOJ components, including the National Security Division and the Criminal Division.

She also founded and co-chaired SDNY’s Artificial Intelligence Working Group and served as the Office’s primary subject matter expert on cyber matters. In addition, she served on the faculty and as a lecturer at the two-week Criminal Trial Advocacy course undertaken by all new federal prosecutors across the Department of Justice.
