Two years ago, Steno, a tech-enabled provider of legal support and court reporting services, named Prabhdeep Singh as its chief operating officer to help accelerate the company’s growth.

Apparently, he did a good job, because today the company announced his appointment as chief executive officer, succeeding cofounder Greg Hong, who will continue to support the company as a member of its board of directors.

Before coming to Steno, Singh had most recently been operating partner at Armory Square Ventures, where he was a board member, portfolio advisor, and member of its investment committee.

Prior to that, he held positions as global head of marketplace at WeWork, head of enterprise at Uber Eats, and chief growth officer at Clover Health.

Hong, in a statement announcing the move, said that after seven years of founder-led growth, he is confident that Singh is the right person to lead the company forward.

“Prabhdeep’s vision for combining a concierge experience that customers love, while building AI tools grounded in data and a genuine understanding of litigation workflows, will ensure Steno’s position as the premier tech-enabled court reporting and litigation support services provider in the USA,” Hong said.

Singh’s appointment comes at a time of unprecedented momentum, the company said. With its recent raise of $49 million in Series C funding, the company is tripling its investment in geographic expansion and the development of the next evolution of its litigation technology suite.

Under Singh’s leadership, the company said, it aims to enter new markets and significantly increase its footprint within the Am Law 200.

“I’m honored to lead Steno at this pivotal moment as we scale into one of the largest legal tech platforms in the USA,” Singh said in a statement. “Steno’s hybrid position, operating as both a world-class services provider and a tech company, allows us to build AI capabilities that software-only companies simply cannot replicate.”

Gordon Crenshaw, partner at The LegalTech Fund, one of Steno’s strategic investors, said that Singh rounds out a “world-class leadership team” that is ideal to lead the company’s next phase of growth.

“With innovative solutions like Transcript Genius, Steno Connect, and DelayPay, they are raising the bar for the entire industry, and we’re thrilled to back their continued expansion and product innovation,” Crenshaw said.
