Philipp Thurner
Philipp Thurner is the Austrian-born founder and CEO of Nexl, an AI-powered growth and CRM platform for law firms. He built the company in Sydney in 2018 after seeing spreadsheets of global lawyers being updated by hand at Gilbert + Tobin, pivoted through a 'LinkedIn for lawyers' phase, and now runs the business from Brooklyn as it serves more than 150 firms worldwide, including AmLaw 100 members. In October 2025 Nexl closed a $23M Series B (reported as A$35M) led by Tidemark, bringing total funding to roughly $45M.
Jody Glidden
Jody Glidden is the Founder and CEO of Postilize, a Miami Beach-based AI platform that introduced a new software category called Proactive Relationship Management (PRM) for law firms and professional services. A serial entrepreneur with five ventures and four exits, Glidden previously co-founded Introhive — which grew to a near-$500M valuation, 350+ employees, and 40x returns for early investors — before stepping back in 2022 to build Postilize. Rooted in his conviction that law firms lose clients not from poor service but from poor follow-through, Glidden is building AI that surfaces client opportunities before an RFP ever appears, drafts outreach in each partner's authentic voice, and demands zero data entry from its users.
John Haddock
John Haddock is the Chief Business Officer at Harvey, the $5 billion AI platform purpose-built for the legal industry. He joined in May 2025 after a decade at Stripe, where he scaled enterprise sales and led the Banking-as-a-Service division. A Stanford JD/MBA with roots in Big Law and a courtroom clerkship, Haddock now oversees a 50-person team of former Big Law lawyers helping the world's top firms embed AI into their daily workflows — from contract review to litigation briefs.
