Entegrata Names Simpson Thacher's Andrew Baker Chief AI Officer

Entegrata has appointed Andrew Baker, formerly Director of Applied AI at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, as Chief AI & Data Strategy Officer, the Indianapolis-based legal data platform said Wednesday. The hire underscores how legal technology vendors are recruiting talent with deep firm-side AI experience as enterprise law firms consolidate fragmented data systems into unified foundations for generative AI.

Baker spent more than five years at the Am Law 10 firm, building applied AI capabilities for legal practice. He previously co-led the Legal Transformation and Innovation Practice at HBR Consulting and founded Seyfarth Shaw's Legal Technology Innovations Office, where he created the "legal solutions architect" role. At Entegrata, his mandate spans engineering, product, and customer experience: help firms structure their content so any model or agent can reason over it accurately, and keep optionality to switch tools without rebuilding the foundation.
