Most recently I spent three years at Opus 2, the legal tech firm whose products are used by every major law firm and arbitral institution in the world. I led the company's launch in the Middle East — including the opening of the UAE office — and oversaw outsized growth in Continental European and international arbitration revenue. During my tenure the company launched GenAI features, won ILTA Solution Provider of the Year, the CODiE Best Legal Solution award and a Stevie Gold Medal, and added the ICC and SIAC as flagship arbitral-institution partnerships. Before Opus 2, I was Director EMEA at JAMS, the global dispute-resolution provider, after eight years there in increasingly senior commercial roles. Earlier still I ran a legal publishing business and, before that, was a journalist and editor at Legal Business magazine. What I bring: an unusual combination of MBA-trained strategic thinking, two decades operating in the legal industry, and the writing-and-editing instincts of someone who used to do it for a living. I'm comfortable in rooms with managing partners, in-house GCs, product teams, and boards. I open new markets, I sell complex propositions, and I'm at my best when a business needs both the strategy and the storytelling.
Senior Consultant at Opus 2, the legal tech firm whose hearing, transcript and case-management technology is used by every Magic Circle and global elite law firm, and by the world's leading arbitral institutions — including, during my tenure, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC Case Connect) and Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC Gateway). Highlights: • Led the launch of Opus 2 in the Middle East and the opening of the UAE office. Sales grew at close to double the original projections within the first 24 months. • Drove substantial outperformance on Continental European and international arbitration revenue versus plan. • Worked across the UK, UAE, Singapore and Hong Kong offices on pricing, propositions, partner channels, and major-firm account strategy. • Active during a period of intense product and market progress — GenAI features launched, ICC and SIAC partnerships landed, and industry recognition including ILTA Solution Provider of the Year (2025), CODiE Best Legal Solution (2024) and Stevie Gold Medal for Best Legal Solution (2025).
