Principal
Donna Fryer is the Principal of GLOBAL Information Research & Retrieval, LLC. She has been in the Information Industry for 19 years. After obtaining her Series 7, stock broker’s license, she was recruited by LexisNexis as a Financial Specialist specializing in helping LexisNexis’ Legal and Accounting clients find financial, public records, business, legal, tax, and international information. She worked closely with the Sales Force and Product teams producing video training material for the LexisNexis’ Sales Force and Customer Service to keep informed of complicated database material.
Donna later trained attorneys, paralegals, accountants, and government branches on how to conduct efficient research.
