Extract from George Socha’s article “eDiscovery Leaders Live: Charisma Starr of Ankura”
Charisma Starr, Managing Director at Ankura, joins George Socha, Senior Vice President of Brand Awareness at Reveal, for ACEDS #eDiscoveryLeadersLive.
Charisma Starr is a Managing Director at Ankura based in Chicago with 22 years of leadership experience in legal technology, corporate operations, information governance, and e-discovery. While in a previous key role inside the legal department of Exelon, a Fortune 100 energy company, Charisma led the transformation of legal technologies and e-discovery operations, increasing efficiency and reducing cost while modernizing legal systems. As a founding member of Reveal and as the litigation support department manager at Kirkland & Ellis, an AmLaw 100 law firm, Charisma acquired a wide variety of legal operations, information governance, e-discovery, and technical experience.
Charisma’s discussion focused on four areas: her unique experience in the eDiscovery industry, what drives her, her favorite kind of work, and the work she is most proud of having done. Along the way, she compared and contrasted different roles she has held, talked about her days with Reveal when it was just starting up, and shared her thoughts on how eDiscovery is changing and where it is headed.
