Why Brightflag and Why Now: Head of Community

I’m excited to share some news: I’ve joined Brightflag as the company’s Head of Community, where I’ll be leading the strategy that connects our brand with the broader legal ecosystem and elevates the voices that shape it.

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of legal operations, technology, and transformation, building functions inside companies that range from fast paced tech to the Fortune 500, partnering with tech organizations, and helping legal teams navigate constant change. That journey has given me a deep understanding of what in-house teams need, what legal operations leaders are facing, and how powerful it can be when our community feels seen, supported, and connected.

This new chapter at Brightflag brings that passion full circle.

Why Brightflag and Why Now

The legal ecosystem is at an inflection point. AI is reshaping how work gets done. Expectations of legal teams continue to expand. And our community, especially legal operations, is taking on an increasingly central role in driving transformation.

Now is exactly the moment to strengthen connection, rebuild depth before reach, and create the kind of cohesion that helps professionals navigate what’s next with confidence.

That’s what drew me to Brightflag.

Brightflag understands that community isn’t about volume or vanity metrics, it’s about authentic dialogue, meaningful insight, and trust. The team recognizes the value of elevating lived experience, amplifying diverse perspectives, and building clarity in a space that too often feels fragmented.

Joining a company that shares those values just felt right.

What I’ll Be Focused On

As Head of Community, I’ll be championing initiatives that bring the in-house community closer together and reflect the realities of modern legal work. That includes:

• Creating content that turns complexity into clarity
• Elevating the voices and stories of legal operations leaders
• Facilitating conversations that bridge technology, strategy, and practice
• Designing events and programs that foster genuine connection
• Ensuring the insights we amplify are credible, useful, and grounded in experience

My goal is simple: help our community feel grounded, inspired, and part of something bigger than themselves.

Supporting the Legal Operations Community

Legal operations has always been my home base, the lens through which I see the industry and the heart of the work I care about most.

Legal ops professionals are the ones connecting the “why” to the “how.” They’re designing systems, enabling teams, and driving transformation during one of the most significant eras of change our profession has ever seen.

In this role, I’m committed to:

• Bringing clarity to evolving expectations
• Highlighting the creativity and leadership happening across the field
• Creating pathways for shared learning and shared problem-solving
• Amplifying the insights that matter most
• Helping ensure legal ops isn’t just adapting to change—it’s shaping it
• That’s the kind of impact I’m energized to make at Brightflag.

Looking Ahead

I’m stepping into this role with a deep sense of purpose and gratitude for the community that continually teaches me, for the leaders who inspire me, and for the opportunity to help create something meaningful alongside all of you.

I’m excited for what’s ahead, for the conversations, the shared learning, the storytelling, and the chance to build something that reflects the best of our profession.

If we haven’t connected yet, I’d love to. And if you have ideas, challenges, or perspectives you want to bring forward, my door is always open.

Here’s to clarity, connection, and moving the industry forward together.
