Speaker Bio
With nearly 20 years of experience in the legal industry, I serve as Chief Data Officer, helping to lead my firm’s strategic initiatives in artificial intelligence and data-driven innovation, while overseeing our information governance department. My responsibilities include compliance, business intake, conflicts, data privacy, records management, and driving the advancement of AI technologies across the organization. I am passionate about information governance and have developed and enforced robust policies, deployed enterprise-wide programs, implemented innovative technology solutions, and championed the adoption of cutting-edge AI. My work as a consultant and practitioner has allowed me to advise leading companies and law firms, and I have shared my insights through published articles, lectures, and advisory roles. Committed to elevating industry standards, I created the InfoGov Hot Seat podcast, a platform for candid conversations with practitioners, consultants, and solution providers. Through this initiative, I strive to deliver fresh perspectives on legal technology, information as a strategic asset, and the transformative impact of artificial intelligence. Let’s connect if you’d like to discuss information governance, data-driven innovation, or the future of AI in the legal sector.
