She is a certified E-Discovery Specialist (CEDS) and is certified in various legal technology platforms, the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), and Lean Six Sigma.
Julie and I only were only able to catch up briefly during day two of ILTACON – no surprise given her long tenure in leadership roles with ILTA and the concomitant demands on her time at the conference. Julie reported on day one of the conference. She then turned to a discussion about innovation: what it means to her and folks at her firm, how they are approaching innovation, and where they hope to take it.
