F rost Brown Todd's first Chief Data and Innovation Officer, Cindy Bare, specializes in implementing, adopting, and maximizing Foundation firm intelligence technology and using law firm data to enhance client service and increase efficiency. Cindy grounds her innovative leadership in five strategic priorities: (1) Know Our Clients, (2) Focus on Industry, (3) Improve Efficiency, (4) Enhance Client Service, and (5) Grow the Firm. Cindy led her team through the successful completion of over 130 projects, many including the implementation of new technologies, over the past two years. She guided research services and legal project management team members as they upgraded resources, provided LPM and technology training, rolled out new practice technologies, piloted and implemented generative AI tools, and upgraded the firm's intranet. Cindy embodies ILTA's core values and exemplifies innovative leadership through her commitment to nurturing and mentoring new legal technologists, connecting with peers to exchange professional knowledge, and willingness to share successes and failures in personal meetings, presentations, and written content. Cindy is a dedicated ILTA volunteer who brings almost twenty years of legal tech expertise to the community. She enjoys speaking engagements, hosting and organizing local and interest group meetings, and writing articles. ILTA has provided Cindy with opportunities for career development, a network of peers and mentors, inspiration, and ideas. She was delighted when three team members, including historically underrepresented groups in legal technology and first-time ILTACON presenters, were selected to present at ILTACON in 2023.
