I’m the co-founder and CEO of Streamline AI. My passion is empowering legal teams through technology.Streamline AI is an intake, triage, and matter management platform for in-house legal teams. Trusted by over five hundred attorneys across various industries, including fast-growing tech companies like Grammarly, 8x8, and Demandbase, Streamline AI is the foundational technology companies need to run Legal like a business and accelerates time-to-close on legal requests by up to 50%Before becoming an entrepreneur, I spent the first 10+ years of my career as a practicing attorney, most recently AGC at DoorDash, building out and leading Commercial Legal and then founding a Legal Operations department to support the team’s rapid scaling.Legal teams turn to Streamline when they repeatedly encounter the frustration of scattered requests across different business systems, when they are inaccurately viewed by the business as a blocker or cost center, or when they need metrics to justify headcount and showcase Legal’s value. These were my core pain points throughout my practice that led me to feel, "There has to be a better way...!"My passion is to empower women in their professional careers. I've been the beneficiary of incredible mentorship and sponsorship throughout my journey and still do today. We need to pay it forward to ensure that future generations thrive.In my free time, I have been teaching a meditation class since the beginning of COVID times. I am a big supporter of cultivating and integrating wellness into how we approach our work. I believe that true productivity is unleashed when we take care of all aspects of our being.Profile photo attribution: In Her Image Photography
