Smith has 20 years’ experience in product management and service design, encompassing new and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, semantic search and linked data, as well as content management. Prior to Reed Smith, for 17 years at LexisNexis UK, Smith led numerous projects to develop search, big data and artificial intelligence capabilities for the company.
“Data, if managed and delivered in the right way, has the capability to genuinely and materially change the way lawyers work,” Smith said. “RAVN is at a very exciting phase of its development and given the rapid advancement in artificial intelligence technology and a legal market that is hungry for insights from data, the platform’s potential is huge. I’m looking forward to delivering against RAVN’s vision. This move is an exciting opportunity for me and will take me back into the depths of commercial product design, artificial intelligence and breaking down the traditional barriers in the legal ecosystem – all areas that I’m extremely passionate about.”
