Axiom Expands U.S. Client Advisory Board to 15 Members, Adding Eight Senior In-House Legal Leaders

Fortune 500 and SMB legal leaders join Axiom to help guide the future of flexible, AI-driven legal solutions that maximize business impact

NEW YORK—December 16, 2025—Axiom announced today the expansion of its U.S. Client Advisory Board (CAB) to 15 members, adding eight senior legal executives from Google, SMBC, Capital One, Honeywell, Cencora, Fidelity, BetterUp, and Organon.

This exceptional and diverse group of in-house leaders joins seven continuing members from Axis Energy Services, BlackRock, Cerapedics, Meta, MongoDB, Roux, and Take-Two Interactive. Together, they provide Axiom's leadership with cross-industry insight spanning financial services, technology, pharmaceuticals, energy, and manufacturing—informing how Axiom helps legal departments manage mounting workloads more efficiently and cost-effectively, accelerates AI transformation, and maximizes business value.

“Our CAB members are driving a fundamental change in corporate legal: retaining more high-value work in-house instead of sending it to law firms,” said Sara Morgan, Chief Revenue Officer at Axiom. “In partnership with Axiom, they are expanding what their internal teams can take on, improving efficiency with legal AI paired with expert in-house talent, and strengthening legal’s role as a strategic business partner. Their insight ensures Axiom continues to build solutions that deliver measurable value.”

Axiom’s newly expanded CAB welcomes:

• Sarah Binder, General Counsel, BetterUp
• Kate Gonzalez, Head of Contract Strategy, Capital One
• Anshoo Patel, Vice President of Legal Operations Affairs, Cencora
• Diane Brown, Head of Discovery and Support Services, Fidelity
• Sean D’Souza, Global Director of Operations, Legal, Google
• Barbara Rogers, Vice President of Legal Operations, Honeywell
• Kirke Weaver, General Counsel, Organon
• Hiro Oshima, Deputy General Counsel & Managing Director, SMBC

 These eight legal leaders join Axiom’s established U.S. CAB Members:

• Christine Stroud, General Counsel, Axis Energy Services
• Justin Chan, Head of Legal, Digital Enterprise, BlackRock
• Kimberly Burke, General Counsel, Cerapedics
• Jimmy Yun, Associate General Counsel, Meta
• Andrew Stephens, General Counsel, MongoDB
• Amy O’Connell, General Counsel, Roux
• Greg Gibson, Deputy General Counsel, Take-Two Interactive

Since its founding in 2023, the CAB has shaped how Axiom serves the evolving needs of in-house legal departments. Member insights on flexible, scalable resourcing directly inform how Axiom structures engagements—enabling legal departments to access specialized expertise on demand without long-term commitments or permanent hiring overhead. CAB members' early observations on AI adoption also shaped Axiom's AI Tech+Talent offering, which pairs vetted technology with AI-enabled legal professionals. These initiatives, combined with enhanced legal operations capabilities, now serve 3,500+ clients across eight regions worldwide, including 75% of the Fortune 100.
