In addition to his CIO roles, Marty founded a company dedicated to building software solutions for some of the largest law firms in the US, UK, and Canada, where he provided strategic IT consulting and implementation guidance.
Yvonne Dornic, eSentio's CEO, stated, "We are very excited to have Marty join our team. His reputation as a thought leader and commitment to improving IT services for the legal industry has always been valued by fellow CIOs and the vendor community at large. As Chief Innovation Officer for eSentio, Marty will collaborate with law firm leaders and strategic partners to identify trends, pain points and emerging needs to drive the creation of innovative solutions to meet those needs. Marty brings a unique set of experiences and expertise that will benefit our clients, drive innovation, and further expand our thought leadership in the legal community.
"I am fortunate to have such a great opportunity with eSentio,” commented Marty. “I have always been impressed by their ingenuity, leadership in the market, and caliber of their people. As a client, I have experienced first-hand the quality of their work, out-of-the-box thinking, and dedication to exceptional client service. I look forward to working with the outstanding group of consultants at eSentio to drive innovation and add value for my colleagues in the legal market.
This role will allow me to engage with CIOs and other leaders as they face continuing change and challenges in Legal IT. Whether it is building a stronger security posture, implementing information governance policies and systems, or developing new strategies for the future, I very much want to make those engagements successful and sustaining.”
Marty was honored by the American Lawyer Media as IT Director of the Year in 2011. In 2014, he was also honored by the Nashville Business Journal as CIO of the Year for his work in launching his firm’s new Operations Center.
