Ms. Wiley is a distinguished professional with over 20 years of experience in corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions. Currently serving as the Chief Legal and Strategy Officer and Corporate Secretary at Round Room Holdings, Inc., a leading investor in the wireless industry, she has been instrumental in company operations since 2012 and before that date as outside counsel for the company. Initially joining the company as general counsel, Ms. Wiley has been responsible for providing strategic and legal services to each affiliated operating company, non-affiliated companies under common ownership and exploring new investment opportunities.

Significant milestones have marked Ms. Wiley's career journey with Round Room. Through her career with this ownership group, she has served as the lead legal counsel within the companies, ultimately moving into her current title and role, and as of 2022, Ms. Wiley began stepping out of the day-to-day in wireless and working primarily with the embedded single-family office based in Fishers, Indiana. This new role includes oversight and leadership roles in each of the affiliated wireless businesses, including The Cellular Connection ("TCC"), Wireless Zone, Round Room, LLC, Round Room Gives, LLC, More Than a Phone, LLC, Stash Ventures, LLC, Higher Hopes Foundation, Inc. and all family office affiliated entities. During her tenure with the business, Ms. Wiley has overseen not only the legal function but real estate, facilities, loss prevention, human resources, and ethics and compliance. She has also served as a member of the Board of Managers for Revive Electronics, LLC and on the Board of Directors for Culture of Good, Inc. (one of Indiana initial B corporations). Earlier in her career, she served as corporate counsel at CSI Closures System International from 2011 to 2013 and as a corporate attorney at Baker and Daniels LLP from 2004 to 2011.

Ms. Wiley's academic background has been pivotal to her success. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in communications with highest distinction from Purdue University in 2001, followed by a Doctor of Jurisprudence, magna cum laude, from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 2004. In 2022, she completed business administration and management coursework at Wharton Executive Education. Additionally, she holds a certification in sound healing.

To remain aware of developments in the field, Ms. Wiley has maintained her affiliation with several relevant organizations, including Chief, a private network of executive women, the Society for Human Resource Management, the Association of Corporate Counsel, the Indiana State Bar Association, the Indianapolis Bar Association, and the International Cannabis Bar Association. Likewise, she is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Chi Omega, and the Panhellenic Association. Her efforts have been recognized with accolades, such as being named one of Indy's Best and Brightest Legal Finalists in 2018 and a Rising Star by Super Lawyers in 2006 and 2010.

Ms. Wiley's dedication extends beyond her professional life into civic engagement. She is a member of the board of directors of The Children's TherAplay Foundation Inc., where she served as President and member of the Executive Committee for six of her nineteen years of service. She also served on the board of More Than a Phone as a member of the executive committee since its inception, culminating in President in 2022, and is a member of the Women's Fund of Central Indiana Advisory Board, Higher Hopes Foundation Board and Round Room Gives Board of Directors.

Ms. Wiley attributes her success to her strong work ethic, unwavering support from her family, friends, and peers, eagerness to learn and approach challenges with curiosity, and commitment to making a positive impact and bringing about change.
