NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Text IQ, the
developers of the industry-leading technology platform that
protects enterprises from legal and compliance disasters, announced
today the appointment of Aaron Crews
as general counsel and vice president of strategy.
A recognized expert in litigation, compliance, investigations,
data privacy & protection, information security, enterprise
risk and change management, Mr. Crews brings extensive legal,
privacy, and compliance experience from both the public and private
sectors.
Crews joins Text IQ after three years with Walmart where he was
senior associate general counsel and global head of eDiscovery.
Before joining Walmart, Crews spent seven years with San Francisco-based law firm Littler Mendelson
as a shareholder and one of the law firm's eDiscovery counsel. His
practice centered on helping Fortune 1000 clients manage and
mitigate risk by providing focused guidance and expertise on issues
related to electronic discovery, the use of computer forensics in
litigation, data breach investigations and incident response,
compliance investigations, IP and data theft investigations, and
information governance matters.
"We are delighted to welcome Aaron to Text IQ," said Text IQ
Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Apoorv Agarwal. "Aaron brings a depth of
experience gained from an impressive career that has included
litigation and risk management. The experience, creativeness and
leadership skills he brings are exactly the mix we need right now
to continue the momentum Text IQ has built to date."
In his role with Walmart, Aaron led the legal department's
effort in adopting technology and was at the forefront of Walmart's
evaluation of leading AI.
"During my evaluation of technologies and the impact they could
have on reducing cost and risk for Walmart litigation matters, I
came across Text IQ. After extensive testing, I realized the
platform was doing something fundamentally different using
artificial intelligence technology," shared Crews. "Once I saw the
potential uses on unstructured communication content, I knew that I
had to become a part of this inevitable success as the industry
leader."
Crews first line of business as general counsel will be to
participate with top industry leaders from Fortune 100 companies at
The Inevitable. The Inevitable is Text IQ's inaugural summit being
held to discuss artificial intelligence's ability to solve
otherwise intractable problems, which have plagued enterprises with
billions of dollars per year in spending related to risk and
compliance. To learn more about this year's The Inevitable and
