DISCO appoints CTO and CMO as AI platform revenue rises tenfold

By Rebecca Stone

DISCO has hired two executives after posting six straight quarters of double-digit software revenue growth and a tenfold rise in AI platform revenue since early 2026.

Mich Razon becomes chief technology officer, and Johann Wrede becomes chief marketing officer. Both joined on November 2, 2026, and work in the Raleigh, North Carolina, area. DISCO (NYSE: LAW) provides litigation technology. The hires support its plan to expand artificial intelligence capabilities and strengthen its legal technology position.

What is driving the AI push?

The tenfold figure covers revenue from DISCO's AI platform since the first quarter of 2026. DISCO also expanded a pilot of its unified litigation solution to include four Am Law 50 firms.

Razon said: “The legal industry is rapidly evolving, and innovation matters more than ever. Litigators need confidence that their tools are built for the rigors of modern litigation.”

Wrede said: “The legal AI boom has changed the playing field for brands, and there is a significant gap between what’s promised and what’s real.”

Together, the new chiefs connect a product integration plan with an enterprise marketing push, while the expanded pilot brings four large law firms into a single unified litigation program.

What will Razon oversee?

Razon will oversee global engineering strategy. She also leads development of the company's unified litigation technology platform, which aims to integrate AI capabilities across litigation workflows.

She joins from Thomson Reuters, where she served as chief technology officer and head of engineering for Legal AI. She helped advance the development of agentic AI solutions there.

Before Thomson Reuters, Razon was vice president, general manager and head of platform at Google Cloud, where she led global commerce operations in that role. She previously held senior leadership positions at Mastercard and Teradata. She currently serves on the board of directors of Green Dot Corporation.

How will Wrede shape marketing?

Wrede joins from Auros, where he served as chief marketing officer. He will oversee marketing strategy, brand development and go-to-market initiatives.

His remit covers DISCO's effort to expand its enterprise customer base and promote its AI-powered litigation products as law firms evaluate AI tools for legal workflows.

His previous chief marketing officer roles were at Emburse and Xactly. Emburse is a corporate travel and expense management platform. Xactly is an enterprise software company. At SAP, Wrede held senior marketing leadership roles covering brand, advertising, events, content and product marketing. He began his career as a software engineer.

What does this change for law firms evaluating AI?

For law firms, the practical change is a vendor pairing a unified litigation platform with a larger engineering and marketing operation, backed by six quarters of double-digit software growth.

Razon will lead the product build. Wrede will lead the commercial push. CEO Eric Friedrichsen said the appointments bring experience in building and operating technology businesses at scale. The strategy combines expansion of DISCO's AI-driven litigation platform with stronger engineering and commercial execution.

The track record so far comprises double-digit software revenue growth for six consecutive quarters, a tenfold increase in AI platform revenue since the first quarter of 2026 and four Am Law 50 firms in the unified litigation pilot.

DISCO has made the organizational bet. For buyers, the evidence to watch is broader adoption, reflected in software growth and the reach of the unified pilot.
