Dye & Durham Names Interim CEO as Board Ends Transformation Committee

Dye & Durham appointed former Chief Operating Officer Todd Schulte interim CEO on Aug. 31, as the Canadian legal technology company dissolved its temporary Transformation Committee and installed Angela Zhang as board chair. The moves consolidate executive authority while the board continues searching for a permanent chief executive. Mary Filippelli left the board after serving as chair, while Tyler Proud’s committee also concluded its work.

The leadership reset comes as Dye & Durham continues to simplify a business spanning legal practice management, transaction data and payments infrastructure. The company operates in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and South Africa, giving the transition significance beyond a single software product or regional market. Its governance structure had temporarily placed the duties of the CEO’s office with the Transformation Committee while directors pursued a permanent appointment. Schulte’s elevation replaces that interim collective arrangement with one executive accountable for operating decisions. The company did not provide a timetable for completing the CEO search.
