Steve Harmon became one of legal operations' first corporate leaders when the general counsel of Cisco Systems Inc. tapped him to take on the new role more than 15 years ago.
Now, he'll be taking legal ops lessons into his own GC role. On Tuesday, legal services and technology company Elevate Services Inc. announced Harmon as its new general counsel. Harmon will replace former Elevate GC Daniel Coll, who left the company in June, according to his LinkedIn page.
Harmon said his legal ops experience will bring unique insight to the GC role, where he'll be responsible for leading the company's legal team and helping with business and client needs. He'll be able to discuss his own legal ops experiences while bringing developed strategies to his new department, as well as leadership and legal skills developed from leading a team of about 100 at Cisco. Earlier this year, another lawyer with legal ops experience, former Google in-house lawyer Tiffani McCoy, also took on a GC role at HBUS, a digital currency marketplace that opened in June.
