CXO INSIGHT
I was interested in the opportunity of working at Litera , because of the strength of its products . Ultimately , lawyers are our first line of defence when it comes to true justice in the world , so it was appealing to me to have an impact on the industry and how this important work gets done .
How have you dealt with a lack of gender equality during your career ?
Before I worked in technology I was in the military , which was more male-dominated than maybe any other industry I ’ ve worked in since . I ’ ve always been able to hold my own and grow and succeed based on hard work and dedication . I ’ ve also always sought out mentorship so I could learn from those above me while identifying the best opportunities for my career to move forward .
ULTIMATELY , LAWYERS ARE OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE WHEN IT COMES TO TRUE JUSTICE IN THE WORLD , SO IT WAS APPEALING TO ME TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE INDUSTRY AND HOW THIS IMPORTANT WORK GETS DONE .
What are your hopes for the future for the legal profession ?
My main goal as CEO is to continue to grow Litera , creating the best products in the legal technology market that are not only innovative but also easy to use , while staying laser-focused on our customer experience and how we deliver value to our firms every day .
We ’ re also excited about the potential for new legal tools like Litera Foundation to remove bias in the legal world by ensuring diverse lawyers get access to more interesting cases and clients and that documents are being reviewed without bias . I am constantly inspired by how our clients use our tools to make the world a more just and equitable place . x
