July 2026 — DiliTrust, the AI-native SaaS platform for legal departments and governance bodies, today announces the appointment of Veta T. Richardson as the inaugural member of its newly formed Strategic Advisory Board. Richardson’s appointment marks a significant milestone in DiliTrust’s global growth strategy, specifically focused on accelerating the company’s expansion across the North American market.
A highly respected international chief executive and board director, Richardson brings decades of experience navigating the intersection of law, technology, risk, and corporate governance. Most recently, she served as the President and CEO of the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), where she transformed the organization into the world’s largest community for in-house counsel, spanning more than 115 nations. Her leadership in digital transformation and global growth will prove instrumental as DiliTrust continues to build its suite of secure, AI-native solutions.
Backed by a $150 million investment from Cathay Capital, Eurazeo, and Sagard, DiliTrust has built what legal departments have never had: a single platform purpose-built for their work. While Finance runs on ERP and Sales on CRM, Legal has been the last major corporate function without a system of record. DiliTrust is built to change that, with AI designed specifically for legal from the ground up.
As inaugural member of the Strategic Advisory Board, Richardson will draw on her track record to continue advancing DiliTrust’s initiatives in North America.
Yves Garagnon, co-CEO of DiliTrust, said:
The North American market is a critical pillar of our global growth strategy. Veta’s understanding of the challenges facing General Counsel and Board Directors today makes her the ideal partner and her appointment underscores our commitment to providing a solution that meets the highest standards of excellence and security.
“DiliTrust is at the forefront of the digital transformation of legal departments ,” said Veta T. Richardson.
Having led organizations through similar global shifts, I am excited to support the team as they bring their innovative platform to more boards and legal teams in North America. After spending hours personally reviewing their technology before accepting this advisory board role, I can say with confidence that DiliTrust’s commitment to security and operational efficiency is impressive and offers solutions that will keep pace with the fast-evolving needs of today’s corporate executives and board leaders.
Richardson’s career is defined by her strategic ability to drive revenue growth, global expansion, and operational excellence. She is an NACD Certified Director and CEO Trust® member, widely respected for her expert insights on executive leadership, governance, and talent management. She currently serves on several corporate advisory and nonprofit boards, is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center and Amazon #1 bestselling author of Take Six, a career strategies guide for rising professionals.
