Clio has appointed longterm SaaS leader John Foreman as its new chief product officer. Foreman most recently served as chief product and marketing officer at AI lead conversion platform Podium and prior to that, he spent nearly a decade at Mailchimp, holding senior leadership roles including chief product officer and chief data scientist.
Clio said today (12 May) that in this role, Foreman (pictured above) will lead its product strategy and delivery across its expanding multi-product platform, guiding the company’s long-term innovation roadmap and deepening its commitment to transforming the legal experience for all.
Foreman is the author of Data Smart, a bestselling book on applied data science, and Leadership Wise: Why Business Books Suck, but Wise Leaders Succeed, a candid reflection on the realities of modern leadership.
“AI is continuing to change the game in legaltech, and we’re building an intelligent platform that will define the future of legal work ,” said Jack Newton, CEO and founder of Clio. “John has the experience, deep curiosity, and the ambition to help us redefine how law firms operate. He understands what’s at stake for this profession, and he’s here to deliver bold solutions that move the industry forward.”
“What drew me to Clio is the clarity of its mission and the scale of its impact,” added Foreman. “Legal professionals face real complexity in their day-to-day work, and there’s a huge opportunity to transform that experience through great design, intelligent systems, and the power of AI. I’m excited to build with this team and help shape the next chapter of Clio’s product strategy.”
Foreman replaces Hemant Kashyap, who joined the Canadian-founded company in 2023 as CPO.
