Ep 005 Interview with Olga Mack of ParleyPro

Charlie Uniman, your podcast host and the host of the online Legal Tech StartUp Focus community (www.legaltechstartupfocus.com), welcomes Olga Mack to this episode of the Legal Tech StartUp Focus podcast. Olga, who previously practiced as an IP lawyer in both law firms and in-house legal departments, is now CEO of legal tech startup ParleyPro (www.parleypro.com). After discussing the career path that took Olga from practicing law to stewarding a legal tech startup, Charlie and Olga talk about just what ParleyPro's contract management software offers its customers (including, in particular, that software's particular emphasis on collaboration and the negotiation process - both for real time use). Next the discussion focuses on Olga's role as a legal tech startup CEO, with Charlie asking her several startup business-related questions. First, Charlie asks Olga what it is about ParleyPro that she's most proud of. Next, Olga answers questions about ParleyPro's customer on-boarding process and how Olga and her marketing team discover whom best to target when sourcing in-house legal department customer prospects. Olga then answers a question directed at what keeps her up at night in her role (here keeping on top of calendar management and the wearing-of-many-hats figure prominently). The podcast concludes with Charlie asking Olga what single piece of advice she would offer other startup executives and their colleagues.
