Venio Systems, the leading provider of integrated e-discovery software for corporations, law firms and service providers, today announced the hiring of Robert Childress III as its Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales. Childress will be responsible for driving revenue for the company and building relationships with its partners.
Robert Childress has been in legal technology since 1996 and is one of the most influential people in the field. He was co-founder and president of Wave Software for seven years and continues to own and lead the Masters Conference, which he founded in 2006 and is now the most respected conference in the legal technology industry.
“Robert has more experience and connections in legal technology than almost anyone. He is one of the true trailblazers in our industry, in both discovery software and education,” says Bimal Tamrakar, Venio’s President and Chairman. “Robert built the Masters Conference from scratch and was the driving force behind the rapid growth at Wave Software. He has the experience and expertise to help our company meet our goals.”
"I've known Robert Childress for many years and he is one of the most intelligent and innovative people in the world of e-discovery,” says Skip Westfall, FVS Managing Director and FTS Practice Leader at Grant Thornton LLP. “I am happy to see that a company like Venio will benefit from his participation. Robert has been a staple in the legal community for over 20 years now and I look forward to working with him in the near future.”
“I’ve spent almost my whole career in legal technology, and most of it specifically focusing on discovery software,” says Childress. “I’m thrilled to be working with Venio now, because I’ve been in the discovery software business for a long time, so I’m able to see how great the tool is. I’m also a big believer in the integrated platform model, as it makes e-discovery faster and simpler.”
Childress will be present at Venio’s booth #2613 at LegalTech New York on February 3-5, 2015 at the Hilton New York.
