"Chris brings the agility and grit to meet this moment of AI transformation," said
Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. "We’ve spent years building the data foundation,
the governance and the agentic capabilities behind our platform, and I believe Chris
is the right leader to shift us into high gear, to elevate Relativity’s system of
action, reach further into the surfaces where legal work happens and make it easier
for legal teams to engage directly with their data."

Brown brings more than 25 years of experience building and scaling digital platforms
across complex consumer and enterprise markets, with a career-long focus on shaping
customer experiences through applied AI and data-driven systems. Under his leadership,
Relativity has built the AI platform for the industry’s most consequential legal
work: hundreds of thousands of users around the globe rely on it for litigation,
investigations, regulatory inquiries, information requests, data breach responses
and more, with 93 petabytes of legal data under management as of April 2026.

As president, Brown will continue to lead Relativity’s product organization while
adding marketing and technology partnerships to his scope, uniting how Relativity
builds, how it goes to market and who it builds alongside. His immediate priorities
include integrating [Gavel](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4728545-1&h=1676538998&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.relativity.com%2Fnews-events%2Frelativity-acquires-gavel-to-extend-its-ai-platform-for-legal-data-intelligence-into-microsoft-word%2F&a=Gavel),

that let leading AI assistants such as Claude orchestrate matters and workflows 
inside RelativityOne; and scaling [aiR](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4728545-1&h=2089811795&u=https%3A%2F%2Frelativity.com%2Fdata-solutions%2Fair%2F&a=aiR)
across the full range of legal work the platform serves.

"I could not be more excited to step into this role," said Brown. "Bringing product,
marketing and technology partnerships together lets us move faster and think as 
one about where legal work is going. I believe what we’ve built has already changed
how legal work gets done, and the fullest version of that vision is still ahead:
legal practitioners asking questions, exploring evidence and drafting work product,
all in one simple and intuitive flow, with AI they can trust."

Before Relativity, Brown was CEO of Kapow Events, which he led through its acquisition
by Cvent. He previously spent close to a decade at Orbitz Worldwide as chief product
officer, where he helped build a global travel platform and a suite of award-winning,
AI-powered mobile applications. He holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer
engineering from the University of Illinois, where he currently serves on the Electrical
and Computer Engineering Alumni Board as its president.

Chief Marketing Officer Cristina Rossman is departing Relativity after more than
six years with the company. She will remain in an advisory capacity through the 
end of the year to help support a smooth transition. During her time at Relativity,
Rossman scaled RelFest, the company’s annual customer and partner conference, into
one of the legal technology industry’s most influential events. She launched the
[AI Visionaries](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4728545-1&h=1612048641&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.relativity.com%2Fai-visionaries%2F&a=AI+Visionaries)
program, elevating industry dialogue and accelerating the responsible adoption of
AI across the legal sector. At a seminal moment for the industry, Rossman’s leadership
helped cement Relativity’s position as a leader in legal data intelligence.
