Simon Dandy is a Director, Legal Technology Solutions at Baker McKenzie at Baker McKenzie. He possess expertise in document management, information technology, it operations, management, knowledge management and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Simon is a great manager and an expert on legal technologies. Simon challenged and encouraged me to think outside the box and provided me direction and guidance, but left me to organize and manage my team members as I saw fit. I thoroughly enjoyed working for Simon.", "In the time that I've had the opportunity to experience Simon in action with his high balance of skill, I worked with him to evangelize the value of our offerings, and more importantly, advocating the perspective of our customer base to our internal personnel. Innovation is a term that is often thrown around and when applied to the context of the situation, often inaccurate. Innovation isn’t simply looking at ways to improve process, or investing in technology, it's about taking risk and banking on the reward of trailblazing the new approach. Simon not only understood this but lead the charge. He successfully took a team predominantly built from a legacy of decades in the industry and directed the passion and skill towards a goal that set the new standard. He challenged the team to change the landscape of an industry by putting the focus on the "in the life of" theme, where conversation was beyond feature and function and tailored to the workflow and challenges of task-based users. His holistic approach was found to be overly successful to all parties involved, as it was the disruption the market needed. This resulted in painting a vision of what a marriage between our company, its story, tech evangelists, and platform could provide to organizations and their end-users in a slow-moving and stale industry. A conversation historically around point solutions had now evolved into an experience that was beneficial to the business, the infrastructure team, and the fee earners; a long-awaited perfect match. While the above story speaks to the influence Simon had on his subordinates and customer counter-parts, it flies over his leadership, ability to collaborate, to his aptitude and balance for technology and UX. You cannot underestimate the amount of passion he has directed to align with the vision of the company's leadership. Simon has a calm and collective way of competing in the most technical of conversations but not losing the focus on the larger picture, which has become a fundamental component of the software world. This was both incredibly valuable internally and externally. With the customer base Simon could speak to all dynamics he experienced within a firm and relate them to the partnership we offered. Internally he facilitated conversations with the product team and those customer-facing by advocating for both sides and ensuring all involved were held accountable. For me personally, I've been able to consider Simon a mentor, specifically for growth in the world of emotional intelligence. The way in which Simon carries himself, is current, tech savvy, and approachable, is nothing short of inspirational.", and "I have worked alongside Simon in several capacities over the years, first when he became one of my clients, then when I worked with him in various capacities and projects at Litera Corp, and finally in what I believe to be his true north: as leader of the newly-formed Evangelist team a Litera Microsystems. Simon's passion for and leadership skills in organizational development, process excellence and cross-functional alignment during rapid states of change, are bested only by his unwavering devotion to seeing his teams, team members and business succeed. But his secret sauce, if I may? He is an exceptional "cat herder" -- something I've witnessed him deftly do 100s of times. His quiet and calm bring everyone together: a wonder to watch! I have learned much from Simon, for which I am both grateful and made better by. I look forward to learning more from him in the years ahead!"
