Sheila Amiry is our Director of Sales & Client Services at modCounsel. While practicing law at a midsize firm after passing the Illinois bar, she quickly realized her ambitions lay in the business and consulting world.
Sheila started her corporate career at an analyst firm, SiriusDecisions (now Forrester Research), where she consulted with C-level executives at some of the largest companies in the world, providing thought leadership, benchmark data, and consulting services.
From there, she returned to her roots in legal, working and managing teams at Thomson Reuters, where she helped law firms and in-house legal professionals improve various business and research processes.
