About Lawrence Drewry
Legal professional with deep experience across privacy, product development, AI governance, data security, and commercial contracting. As Assistant General Counsel at HashiCorp (now IBM), I’ve built legal processes into product lifecycles, led privacy and AI compliance and governance strategies, and supported everything from OSS licensing to incident response. With my background in IT and engineering, I am able to bridge the gap between legal and engineers to effectively lead a compliant Product Lifecycle Strategy.
