Anthony Santini

Tony is responsible for global legal matters, legislative affairs, litigation management, mergers & acquisitions and corporate compliance. He started his career with a Chemical Engineering degree, but decided he wanted to do something different — so he went to law school and became a Patent Attorney. After a few years with a New York IP firm, he went in-house and joined the consumer products division of a large, diversified corporation. A few years later, he joined Bristol-Myers Squibb supporting their Clairol and OTC businesses. Blazing a trail in the world of corporate legal affairs, Tony then joined Avon as their first Chief Patent Counsel, where he worked his way up the ladder to become Avon's General Counsel to their North America and Global Business Units. Tony joined Combe in 2012 because it was clear to him from the start that Combe is an organization where everyone has an immediate voice, at every level — no layers of bureaucracy. He felt that Combe people truly believe that good ideas can come from every corner of the company and that everyone always tries to do the right thing, even when no one is looking. For Tony, Combe is a place that resonates with his values.
