My story

With over 30 years of experience in legal technology, I’ve had the privilege of leading transformative change within law firms—turning underperforming departments into high-performing, collaborative teams. My approach is rooted in partnership: I prioritize building trust, finding common ground, and fostering open, effective communication across every level of an organization.

Throughout my career, I’ve been recognized for leadership and innovation, receiving honors such as ILTA’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Litera’s Changing Lawyer Award, and the National Law Journal’s inaugural list of 50 Business of Law Trailblazers & Pioneers. I was also named Outstanding CIO of the Year, IT Director of the Year by Law Technology News, and led the creation of the first innovation lab at Kelley Drye—an initiative grounded in design thinking that earned recognition from the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC) with its Legal Innovation in Operations (LIO) Award.

Committed to lifelong learning, I continue to explore emerging technologies and most recently earned a certificate in Generative AI from UC Berkeley, HAAS School of Business.
