Flaton has held senior leadership roles in financial advisory, investment banking, and risk management, including serving as a Managing Director at AlixPartners and Lazard, where she advised companies, investors, and boards on complex financial and strategic matters.

She currently serves on several public and private company boards, including as an independent director of QVC Group, Inc., where she is a member of the Audit and Compensation Committees.
