Originally from Auckland, New Zealand, Rory began his career in Wellington with PricewaterhouseCoopers, building New Zealand’s digital land title system. He moved to London and consulted for several years for Freshfields, Reuters, and GlaxoSmithKline, among others. He later co-founded a legal tech startup Priory Solutions, building products for large law firms to manage their subscriptions and knowledge requests — software used by most of the large US and UK firms.
After selling that company, Rory relocated to Sweden and invested in several tech startups, including Eperoto. In 2024, he took the helm as CEO, leading its international expansion and championing the use of decision analysis for greater clarity into dispute risk.
