Michelle Mahoney: ‘The Future For Women Is In Our Hearts, Minds And Hands’

Our April Member Of The Month, Michelle Mahoney, is the Executive Director of Innovation at King & Wood Mallesons (KWM). Michelle’s career has included many first to market initiatives and she was one of the first Australians inducted as a Fellow to the international College of Law and Practice Management in 2013. In 2017, Michelle was awarded the International Legal Technology Association Distinguished Peer Leadership Award.

Innovation is change that adds value. While it often involves technology, it can also be a new way of working or thinking approach. Michelle is a serial intrepreneur and under Michelle’s leadership, KWM is in expert hands to maximise the opportunities and challenges that an evolving legal industry of machine learning and blockchain presents. Michelle joins us today to discuss her impressive career with KWM and advice for other women working to drive innovative solutions in their organisations.
