Clio this week announced the appointment of a new Chief Product Officer.
The B.C.-born legaltech pioneer has hired John Foreman, who brings over 15 years of leadership experience in SaaS companies, with a track record of building customer centric products.
Most recently, Foreman served as Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Podium. Prior to that, he spent nearly a decade at Mailchimp.
“What drew me to Clio is the clarity of its mission and the scale of its impact,” said Foreman.
In his newest role at Clio, Foreman will lead the Canadian company’s product strategy and delivery across its expanding multi-product platform, guiding long-term innovation and deepening commitment to transforming the legal experience for all.
“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,” he said. “I’m excited to build with this team and help shape the next chapter of Clio’s product strategy.”
As the legal industry continues to evolve, Clio is placing “renewed focus on delivering product innovation” which includes “deeper investment in artificial intelligence and data-powered tools.”
“AI is continuing to change the game in legaltech, and we’re building an intelligent platform that will define the future of legal work,” remarked Jack Newton, founder of Clio. “John has the experience, deep curiosity, and the ambition to help us redefine how law firms operate.”
Clio previously hired Hemant Kashyap as CPO in 2023.
Earlier this year, Clio named Luke Slan as General Manager of Canada.
Later this month, the legaltech unicorn is slated to headline the 2025 edition of Vancouver Startup Week, which will be taking place May 20th through 23rd.
Headquartered in Burnaby, with offices in Calgary and Toronto, Clio has more than 1,100 employees. The company was founded in 2008.
