Alfresco Software Inc. announced on Wednesday that Kamil Chaudhary would be immediately promoted to vice president and general counsel.

Chaudhary will oversee all of the company's legal affairs worldwide in areas such as corporate, commercial, regulatory, intellectual property, ethics, compliance and litigation. Alfresco, based in San Mateo, California, is an enterprise open-source software company that focuses on advancing the flow of digital business. Its list of clients include Liberty Mutual, Cisco Systems Inc. and NASA.

Since its sale to a private equity firm earlier this year, Alfresco has undergone a few other executive changes.  Also on Wednesday, the company announced that Bob Pritchard has been promoted to senior vice president of sales. In April, the board of directors announced that Bernadette Nixon would be taking over as CEO.

Chaudhary, who was not immediately available for comment Thursday, is taking the place of former chief legal officer and general counsel Paul Warenski. Warenski, according to his LinkedIn page, left the company in March after leading the company's sale to Thomas H. Lee Partners to “explore new opportunities.”

Chaudhary joined Alfresco as assistant general counsel in September 2014. According to his LinkedIn profile, Chaudhry previously worked as corporate counsel for advertising and marketing company QuinStreet Inc. from 2013 to 2014,

He's also spent time in the law firm world. He worked as an associate in the technology companies group at Goodwin Procter from 2011 to 2013 and before that worked as an associate at Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian. Chaudhary graduated from the Duke University School of Law in 2009.

“Kamil's background, not only with Alfresco but also his previous legal experience in the technology sector, prepared him well for this next step in his career,” Nixon, Alfresco's CEO, said in the press release.
