Aderant today (3 March) announced the appointment of Aisling Fenelon as chief revenue officer (CRO). Fenelon, a highly respected legal technology executive with more than 25 years of industry experience, has been promoted from her role as vice president of sales for North America. She has spent the past eleven years at Aderant, before which she held senior roles at Cicayda and LexisNexis.
Fenelon assumes responsibility for Aderant’s global revenue organization at a pivotal time for the legal industry, when law firms are under mounting pressure to improve efficiency, demonstrate value, and realize tangible returns on their technology investments.
“At the highest level, my role is to ensure Aderant grows in the right way—predictably, sustainably, and always in service of our clients,” said Fenelon. “Law firms are asking more of their technology partners than ever before. Our responsibility is to show, clearly and consistently, how Aderant’s products and services deliver real return on investment and create lasting value. I’m excited to continue building a flexible, open ecosystem that helps our clients adapt, innovate, and thrive.”
As Aderant’s first woman to serve as CRO, Fenelon also emphasized the importance of representation and internal growth. “Promoting leaders from within sends a powerful message,” she said. “Diverse leadership teams foster stronger dialogue and better decision-making, and representation at the top shows our people that there is a clear path to grow and lead here. That’s good for our culture, our clients, and the long-term health of the business.”
“Aisling’s career has been defined by her ability to combine deep industry knowledge with a relentless focus on client value,” said Chris Cartrett, president and CEO of Aderant. “She understands the realities law firms face today and how technology must perform to meet those demands. Her leadership, credibility, and institutional knowledge make her uniquely qualified to lead our revenue organization and strengthen the value we deliver to clients around the world.”
