Tell us about yourself!

I grew up in Switzerland and moved to the UK to study Law. While I loved working with lawyers and law firms, I quickly realised that traditional legal roles weren't quite my cup of tea. I wanted to be in environments where I could make a big impact from day one. That realisation shaped the rest of my career.

After finishing my Master of Laws, I joined Jameson Legal, headhunting lawyers for global elite law firms in London, Paris, Zurich and Singapore. I then had the great opportunity to join CrowdJustice, Julia Salasky's first tech company. When Julia then founded Legl, it was delighted to get to play a role building what is now one of the leading UK LegalTech companies. CrowdJustice was my introduction to the world of LegalTech, and I haven't looked back since.

Outside of work I love crosswords, long walks around London, and finding hidden gem restaurants. My most loyal companion is Tiny, my three-legged cat who is now 16 years old and still going strong. She's a reminder that resilience and character matter far more than convention!

What's your role at Legl?

I've rejoined Legl as VP Growth in Jan 2026, after spending three years at Robin AI. Across my career in LegalTech, I've worked in sales, partnerships, marketing, and business operations – and that breadth is exactly what a growth role thrives on. I'm also the Chair of the Board of the UKLTA, which keeps me close to the broader LegalTech community and the conversations shaping our industry.

My focus at Legl is helping the company accelerate its next phase of growth by bringing in the right customers, building the right partnerships, deepening customer relationships, and making sure our story lands with the firms who need us most.

What made you join Legl?

Technically, this is a rejoining story. I was part of Legl from Day 1, and I'm really proud of the role I played in helping the company get off the ground. We saw immediate traction in those early days, and the customers we signed back in 2019 and 2020 are still with us today, which says everything about the product we were building and the relationships we formed.

What drew me back in 2026 was a combination of three things: the team, the customers, and the ambition. Legl has grown enormously since the early days, but the same spirit is there, and the opportunity in front of the business right now is genuinely exciting. Coming back felt less like a new job and more like picking up something I'd never fully put down.

What have been the most enjoyable aspects of your life at Legl?

From the very first days, what I loved most was the pace and the sense that anything was possible. Being part of a company from Day 1 teaches you things you can't learn anywhere else like how decisions get made under uncertainty, how culture forms, how early customers become partners.

Coming back now, I'm enjoying seeing how much the team has grown while the core DNA remains. The ambition hasn't dimmed, the customer relationships are deeper, and the problems we're tackling are bigger. That combination, the familiar foundations and a much larger canvas, is a rare thing to come back to.

What advice would you give anyone looking to follow in your footsteps?

Be curious, and don't be afraid to be passionate about what you do. Genuine enthusiasm is infectious, and it's one of the most underrated career assets you can have. People want to work with, buy from, and build alongside people who actually care.

Surround yourself with people who are excited to change the way things are done. Change is a constant in start-ups – things break, plans shift, priorities move – but that's exactly what keeps you learning and growing. If you're someone who finds that energising rather than exhausting, you'll thrive. And if you find the right people to do it with, you'll never want to go back.
