Zaya Okonjo

Zaya Okonjo is an attorney at Hogarth & Associates, where she has climbed to partner, and the job is not a stepping stone to her: it is the thing she wanted. Born in Virginia and educated at Harvard, she grew up around professional discretion, her father being CIA, and she brought the habit of keeping things airtight into her own career. She is sharp, direct and organized, the partner who notices when a colleague is holding something back. She is also dating one of those colleagues, Malcolm Ducasse, a relationship conducted with rather less discretion than the rest of her life.
