As an experienced leader and CFO, Googin will help Axiom seize on the tremendous growth opportunities before it.
"Our industry is at the tipping point for real, lasting transformation," said Elena Donio, CEO, Axiom. "Even before COVID, legal had seen an ongoing shift to flexible talent models. We believe that recent events will trigger a more accelerated transformation, and we think that Sloane is the absolute right person to help us navigate through that transformation and to help support our continued, ambitious growth plans. Sloane is not only an accomplished CFO, he is a creative thinker, and an enthusiastic driver of growth, at scale. I couldn't be more excited to partner with him."

Said Googin: "We are at an inflection point for the business – a time where Axiom's value proposition couldn't be any stronger or more relevant.
