Neese appointed president of Filevine

Filevine, a Salt Lake City platform for legal work workflow, has appointed Dean Neese g as president and chief financial officer. With over three decades of experience at tech startups such as Docusign, Kinetica, Qubole, Shape Security and Smarterville, Neese will drive financial and business strategy as the company enters its next phase of growth, the company said.

Most recently, as COO and CFO at Kinetica, Neese led strategic financial planning, business operations, product development and people operations. Prior to that, he was CFO at Qubole and CFO at Shape Security.

“Dean is the ideal blend of strategy, finance and operations. His experience is perfect for Filevine as we enter this next stage of hyper-growth. He has the expertise and intuition to guide us through this exciting period while laying a strong foundation for Filevine’s future,” said Ryan Anderson, CEO of Filevine.

The announcement follows Filevine’s acquisition of Outlaw, a contract lifecycle management company.

“Filevine is uniquely positioned to bring innovative, disruptive solutions to companies where legal work has been cumbersome, slow with bottlenecks, and disjointed,” Neese said. “Filevine has all the components for sustained, break-out momentum — category-leading offer, triple-digit customer adoption, and a highly talented, passionate team.”
