What a ride. Served for a decade in various leadership roles helping seed, build, and scale what ultimately became three industry-(re)defining companies: Axiom (on-demand talent platform), Knowable (SaaS-enabled contracts data intelligence), and Factor (complex legal services). Partnered with and learned from the most amazing group of values-centric, mission-driven founders, colleagues, and investors. Proud of the commitment and accomplishments of our international teams across product, technology, sales, customer success, and solution design. Honored to have advised so many dedicated clients on their most business-critical issues at the world's biggest companies.Vice President, Client Partner (January 2014-May 2018)Head, Technology Practice (October 2008-January 2014)
