About

Multidisciplinary professional with over 18 years of cross-functional experience in legal technology, forensic investigations, compliance, and financial services. My academic foundation includes a Law degree and advanced postgraduate diplomas in Software Programming, Cyber Law, and Intellectual Property Rights. Currently leading review operations at CS Disco, I specialize in scaling teams, optimizing delivery models, and aligning legal processes with cutting-edge technology—including AI-driven workflows. I have successfully led large-scale global teams (200+) across the U.S., U.K., and India at firms like Morgan Stanley and Thomson Reuters. My core strengths lie in strategic leadership, people and stakeholder management, cross-functional collaboration, and building efficient, scalable workflows. I bring a strong track record in project management, process innovation, budgeting, vendor oversight, and automation-led transformation. I am a Certified eDiscovery Specialist with deep expertise across the full Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) lifecycle—spanning technical sales, end-user training, and solution development. I consistently identify automation opportunities that enhance efficiency, quality, and profitability. Substantive legal experience includes complex commercial litigation, regulatory and anti-money laundering investigations, mortgage-backed securities litigation, securities fraud, intellectual property disputes, employment law, and shareholder derivative actions. Proficient in a wide range of litigation, legal workflows, and eDiscovery platforms, I bring a unique blend of legal insight and technical capability to support organizations at the intersection of law and technology.
