Ronnie Gurion Promoted to President and COO of Clio

Appointment formalizes Gurion’s expanded role following Clio’s $500M ARR milestone and $1B acquisition of vLex

Clio, the global leader in legal AI, today announced the promotion of Ronnie Gurion to President and Chief Operating Officer. Gurion, who joined as COO in 2021, has played a pivotal role in the most consequential growth phase in Clio’s history, helping scale the company from US$100 million to US$500 million in annual recurring revenue and expanding Clio’s reach across the legal profession, from solo practitioners to the world’s largest law firms.

As President and COO, Gurion will continue to oversee Clio’s global operations, go-to-market strategy, customer experience, and post-acquisition integration. He will work closely with CEO and Founder Jack Newton to help shape the company’s strategy and represent Clio to its largest customers, partners, and the broader market as the company enters its next phase of growth.

“Ronnie has been the operating force behind much of what Clio has built over the past four years,” said Jack Newton, CEO and Founder of Clio. “He brings the scale-stage experience this moment demands and has earned deep trust across our customers, our team, and our partners around the world. This promotion reflects our ambition and our confidence in the team we have built to go after it.”

Over the past twelve months, Clio has closed a US$500 million Series G at a US$5 billion valuation, completed its US$1 billion acquisition of vLex, and launched Clio for Enterprise. Today, the company serves more than 400,000 legal professionals in more than 130 countries, supporting the full spectrum of the legal profession—from solo practitioners to the world’s largest law firms. 

“Clio is building for a moment that doesn’t come twice,” said Gurion. “AI is rewriting what is possible in legal, and this team has been moving faster than anyone in the industry to lead that shift. None of it happens without an extraordinary group of people executing at every level. I am grateful to Jack for the partnership, proud of everything we have built together, and could not be more excited about what comes next.”

Prior to Clio, Gurion was GM and Global Head of Uber for Business, where he scaled the business into a multi-billion-dollar gross bookings platform across 30 countries. He previously held senior leadership roles at Orbitz, Expedia, and Airbnb, bringing nearly two decades of experience scaling global businesses through their most consequential growth phases.
