UiPath, a New York-based robotic process automation software company, announced its new general counsel is the longtime legal leader of multinational software company SAP.

Brad Brubaker started his role as UiPath's chief legal officer and general counsel in April, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Brubaker said in the press release that UiPath has a tremendous impact on the technology industry.

“I look forward to working with both the executive leadership and legal teams to continue to build upon the strong vision and platform UiPath has established over time and to position it as it embarks upon its next chapter,” Brubaker said.

Brubaker has spent the last 25 years of his career working in-house at SAP where he worked as general counsel, assistant general counsel and corporate counsel. After graduating from Temple Law School in 1991, he worked as an associate at Brown & Connery until 1994.

UiPath's chief financial officer, Marie Myers, said she looks forward to Brubaker's leadership.

We are delighted to welcome Brad to UiPath. His experience counseling CEOs and senior leaders on a wide spectrum of legal matters, from organizational transformation to strategic transactions to intellectual property, make him an excellent addition to UiPath,” Myers said in the press release.

Brubaker replaces Vasile Tiple who joined UiPath in 2016 as the company's first general counsel, according to the press release. Tiple will remain with the company as the deputy general counsel and will report to Brubaker.

Tiple and Brubaker were not available for additional comment on Monday.

Myers said in the press release that Tiple was the first lawyer the company hired and that he has built an “incredible global legal operation.”

“I am excited to see Brad, Vasile and the entire team take UiPath to the next level, driving even greater levels of success,” Myers said in the press release.

UiPath is a company which focuses on creating RPA software. RPA is technology which allows anyone to configure software to do repetitive tasks in place of a human. The company announced at the end of April that it brought in $528 million in Series D funding.
