Meet the Founders
Julie is a legal technology strategist and business development expert with 10+ years of experience working inside and alongside law firms. She built her career helping legal technology companies find their footing in one of the most relationship-driven markets in business and helping law firms modernize and grow.
She has a deep understanding of how lawyers think, what makes them buy, and what it actually takes to build trust in the legal market. That insight is not something you can learn from a course. It comes from years of being in the room.
Julie has spoken on panels about AI and the legal industry and worked with firms of every size, from solo practitioners to large regional firms. She brings that same candor, warmth, and directness to every client she works with at The Oceanside Collective.
Her approach is simple. Listen deeply. Be honest. Stay until it works.
Jessica spent 15+ years inside corporate America before she ever stepped into a consulting room. She ran pricing strategy, revenue management, and commercial innovation at a national scale in the alcobev industry. She knows what it feels like to be the client in that room. The pressure of a board meeting, a missed forecast, a product launch that did not land.
That experience shapes everything she does now. At a leading global management consulting firm, she designs and facilitates innovation workshops and strategy sessions for executive teams across Life Sciences, Consumer Goods, Retail, Telecom, and Biopharma. Her background in IO Psychology and Design Thinking means she pays as much attention to what is happening between the people in the room as she does to the problem on the whiteboard.
Her core belief is that most organizations do not have a strategy problem. They have a clarity problem. Get clear on where you are going and why, and everything else gets easier.
She is completing a Master of Engineering in Supply Chain Management because, as she puts it, the best innovators never stop being students.
