Liu Brings Hyper-Growth Expertise to Everlaw as Demand for its Ediscovery Platform Soars
OAKLAND, Calif., March 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Everlaw, the cloud-native investigation and litigation platform, announced the appointment of tech veteran Rich Liu to the new position of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), effective immediately. Liu is a leader with deep expertise in spearheading and scaling high-performing teams to deliver growth for the world's most influential technology companies.
As CRO of Everlaw, Liu will lead the company's go-to-market teams—sales, customer experience, and business development—to help transform and modernize the legal industry.
He joins at a critical time to continue propelling the company's growth: In November 2021, Everlaw announced 80% year-over-year growth and $202 million in Series D funding, bringing the company to an overall valuation of over $2 billion at that time. By 2025, the ediscovery market is projected to reach $13B as ediscovery challenges mount; legal teams often cull through terabytes of data found in texts, emails, videos, and even emojis to pinpoint key evidence.
"In today's world, finding objective truth is harder than ever as the haystack of data grows exponentially and the sources multiply," Liu said. "That complexity is driving demand for Everlaw's powerful truth-finding platform, making it a must-have for litigators. I'm thrilled to join Everlaw in pursuit of its virtuous mission of helping customers illuminate the truth."
Liu brings to Everlaw a wealth of experience in hyper-growth markets, architecting the go-to-market motion of transformative companies and their IPOs. As CRO at TripActions, Liu led the company's global sales, customer success, partnerships, strategy and field operations – and scaled the business over 25x. At MuleSoft and Meta, he held senior leadership positions through their class-leading IPOs. He built a $400M ARR business at Meta, overseeing many of the company's most strategic industry verticals and customers.
"As an engineer-turned-CRO, Rich is a true first-principles thinker, having built both large enterprise and hyper growth go-to-market strategies," said Everlaw Founder and CEO AJ Shankar. "Rich is an incredible addition to Everlaw and joins a strong team that is poised to grow our company to greater heights and transform the legal industry."
