Onit Bolsters Executive Team to Enhance Legal Workflow Solutions

Onit, a provider of legal workflow solutions, has announced the addition of new senior executive leadership team members to drive strategic growth and customer success.

Onit Bolsters Executive Team to Enhance Legal Workflow Solutions

In a strategic move to expand its leadership and enhance its legal workflow solutions, Onit, a prominent provider of enterprise legal management (ELM) and contract lifecycle management (CLM) software, has announced the appointment of three new senior executives and a key promotion within its ranks.

Michelle Culp has been appointed as Chief Revenue Officer, bringing her expertise in SaaS sales and marketing to Onit's go-to-market strategy. Her previous roles include leadership positions at Sovos and SAP Concur, where she demonstrated her ability to drive growth and customer understanding across various segments.

Nathan Peirson steps into the role of Chief People Officer, leveraging his extensive global HR experience from high-growth SaaS and technology companies. His appointment is expected to fortify Onit's talent strategy and human resources capabilities. Peirson's prior experience includes significant roles at Paycor and Worldpay, and he was recently acknowledged by OnCon as one of the top 100 HR Professionals.

Joining as Chief Legal Officer, Laura Fese brings over two decades of experience managing legal operations for multinational companies. Her leadership is anticipated to spur growth through talent development and process enhancements. Fese's previous tenure as EVP, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary of E2open positions her as a seasoned leader in the legal domain.

Melanie Shafer has been promoted to Chief Customer Officer, tasked with scaling Onit's service experience for customers at varying stages of legal operations maturity. Her background with Onit and previous VP role at Zywave underscores her commitment to customer success and service scalability.

With these strategic hirings, Onit aims to solidify its position as a comprehensive provider of AI-enabled workflow automation solutions. CEO Michael Farlekas expressed his enthusiasm for the new team members, highlighting their collective role in advancing Onit's mission to deliver a core business platform that enhances productivity and data-driven decision-making for legal departments worldwide.

Onit's suite of solutions is designed to help Fortune 500 and billion-dollar corporate legal departments optimize their operations, bridging the gap between systems of record and systems of engagement. The company's global presence and commitment to innovation place it at the forefront of the industry, ready to meet the evolving needs of corporate legal departments.
