The Startup Whisperer. Experienced legal tech exec obsessed with hacking growth.

Legal Tech Vendors

I bring the unicorn combo of buyer insight and operator chops. I’ve spent 12 years inside AmLaw 100 firms selecting products like yours, launched two legal tech solutions myself, and advised vendors on everything from GTM strategy to product-market fit to passing security review. Whether you're a startup, scaling into the U.S., or a seasoned player—if you're selling to legal, I can help you sell smarter.

Investors

I bring the insider edge legal tech deals demand. I work with venture and private equity firms to identify high-potential targets, uncover risks and opportunities through strategic diligence, and craft smart post-acquisition plans. I keep you ahead of the curve with sharp insights on market shifts, buyer behavior, and the trends that move the needle. And I’ve done it on deals ranging from a few million to $350 million.

Event Hosts

Looking for a speaker who actually keeps legal audiences awake? I bring energy, humor, and real talk to topics like innovation, legal tech, GenAI, change management, adoption, and privacy and security compliance. Whether it’s a keynote or a panel, I make complex concepts feel approachable—and give your audience something to actually take back to the office.

Law Firms

I help law firms drive innovation that actually sticks. I’ve worked hand in glove with lawyers and legal professionals, giving me a rare inside view of how law firms really work—and how change really happens. From selecting the right tech to shaping L&D programs, leading firmwide initiatives, and running a PMO, I bring creative strategies, market insight, and deep operational know-how to every project.

Corporate Legal Teams

I help in-house teams make change that actually works—not just on paper, but in the real world of competing priorities and tight resources. I bring deep know-how in business process improvement, paired with a sharp understanding of how legal departments evaluate, adopt, and scale new solutions. Whether you're selecting tech, redesigning workflows, or pushing forward a strategic initiative, I deliver practical strategies and market insight—all grounded in how corporate legal teams actually operate and succeed.

Law Schools

I love helping the next generation of lawyers get future-ready. Whether it’s guest lecturing, mentoring at a hackathon, or stepping into the classroom, I bring legal tech to life with real-world insight and a dose of practical skills. Because tomorrow’s lawyers need more than casebooks—they need to understand the tools shaping the future of legal practice.
