Here is an appointment I am pleased to see. Chad McManamy, Assistant General Counsel at Guidance Software, has been appointed Vice President of eDiscovery at the company.

According to the press release, Chad McManamy will the “voice of the customer” in influencing product development internally, as well as continuing his outward-facing role bringing the lawyers, judges and other end users of the discovery process together with those who make the tools which enable this.

I have known Chad for many years in my role as a speaker on behalf of Guidance Software on panels and in webinars, and as a long-serving member of Guidance Software’s Strategic Advisory Board

The press release sets out the ambitions of which Chad McManamy and Guidance Software have for his role. I very much look forward to working with him, not least at CEIC 2015 in Las Vegas in May.
