Cyrus Vance was the Manhattan District Attorney for three consecutive terms between 2010 and 2021.  He is now in private practice and a partner at Baker & McKenzie in New York City, leading its global cyber security practice. As the Manhattan district attorney, Cy led many criminal justice reform efforts, including creating the Criminal Justice Investment Initiative which invested $250 million dollars in criminal forfeiture funds to support college programming in prison throughout New York State, families and youth at risk of criminal justice involvement, and re-entry initiatives for citizens returning home from prison.  Last November, Cy’s office exonerated two men wrongfully convicted of killing Malcolm X in the 1960s.
