Legora Names Zeynep Inanoglu Ozdemir as CMO

Legora, a legal AI platform, appointed Zeynep Inanoglu Ozdemir as Chief Marketing Officer on May 21, 2026, to lead its global marketing efforts.

This hire signals Legora's push to grow beyond its early traction and compete as a global enterprise brand, particularly in the U.S. market.

Her Background

Ozdemir joins from Atlassian, where she served as CMO and led a marketing organization of more than 450 people spanning brand, product marketing, demand generation, communications, and events.

Before Atlassian, she was CMO at Palo Alto Networks, where the company expanded across multiple cybersecurity categories and saw its market capitalization grow fivefold. She holds a PhD in Machine Learning from the University of Cambridge and is based in San Francisco.

Why This Hire

Legora CEO and Co-Founder Max Junestrand framed the decision clearly: "Zeynep has done what very few marketers have: she has built enterprise marketing motions, led a product-led growth business with direct revenue accountability, and operated at large scale without losing the builder instinct that makes great marketing. She will play a critical role in our global expansion and continued brand momentum."

The appointment reflects Legora's need for a leader experienced in both enterprise sales-driven and product-led growth models, two distinct approaches legal AI companies must navigate when targeting large law firms and in-house legal teams.

Legora's Scale

Legora currently serves more than 100,000 users across over 1,200 customers in more than 50 countries. The company builds software for agentic law, meaning AI systems that carry out multi-step legal tasks with limited human intervention at each step.

Ozdemir described her motivation for joining: "Law is one of the most high-stakes, precision-driven professions in the world, and agentic AI has the potential to reimagine how legal work is done from the ground up. Legora has built a strong foundation with a product and team that deeply understand how lawyers work."

Her Role

Ozdemir will lead Legora's global marketing function, covering brand, growth, and communications. Her mandate includes deepening relationships with leading law firms and corporate legal teams while supporting the company's U.S. expansion.
