Axiom, one of the big providers of outsourced legal services, hired a new general counsel with deep in-house experience, including stints at Mastercard and Pitney Bowes.

Ashlin Quirk is taking the legal reins from Catherine Kemnitz, who recently became New York-based Axiom's chief strategy and development officer. She'd been legal chief for almost four years and has been with Axiom in a variety of roles since 2014.
