ABOUT JOSH LADRIERE
I’m an in-house attorney with 12+ years of experience supporting technology, SaaS, and AI-driven companies at various stages of growth. My foundation is in commercial contracting and go-to-market support, with broad exposure across corporate, privacy, employment, product, governance, and operational matters. I partner closely with Sales, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, Security, Finance, People, and Operations teams to move deals forward, solve practical business issues, and manage risk in a way that enables growth. My work spans complex customer and vendor negotiations, GTM strategy, data protection, product counseling, global expansion, and day-to-day legal support across the organization. In addition to leading commercial efforts, I’ve built and refined legal processes, supported fundraising and international expansion, overseen outside counsel, and handled employment and governance matters as they arise. I focus on being a pragmatic, accessible business partner who can step into whatever issue is in front of the company and help drive it to resolution efficiently and thoughtfully.
