Legora appoints marketing and communications directors for APAC and Japan

Legal agentic operating system company, Legora, has appointed Marko Zitko (right) as Director, Communications, APJ and Jocelyn Bukal (left) as Marketing Director, APJ, with immediate effect.

Based in Sydney, the pair will lead Legora's marketing and communications function across APAC and Japan, following the company’s growth across the region.

Marko joins after spending the past year consulting enterprise technology companies, following his role as Director of Marketing and Communications at Freelancer.com, where he led brand marketing, communications, and investor relations. He previously spent four years at WE Communications, managing campaigns for clients including Adobe, Sony, and UiPath.

Jocelyn brings more than 15 years of B2B technology marketing experience across the APAC region, most recently as Regional Marketing Director APJ at Snyk. Prior to that, she held regional marketing leadership roles at Elastic and Instructure, following earlier positions at Bottomline Technologies, Carnival Corporation, and Symantec.

“Legal teams across APJ are moving from evaluating AI to adopting it, and how we show up in each of these markets matters,” said Heather Paterson, VP APJ at Legora.

“Jocelyn has spent her career building marketing engines for enterprise software companies scaling across this region. Marko has been working with us on our APAC communications for the past ten months, and we’ve seen firsthand how he builds trust in the market. Together they give us a regional team that matches the opportunity in front of us.”

TEAM LEWIS introduces integrated AI platform

TEAM LEWIS has launched version one of its AI operating system, Orbital (OS1), as part of its global offering. The platform is designed to connect insight, creativity, messaging and public-facing delivery.

Orbital combines data from across public relations, customer relationship management, paid media and web activity. It is structured around three pillars:

Intelligence
Orbital works with each organisation’s own data and context to identify the signals influencing reputation, demand and AI visibility.

Creativity
The platform helps teams turn insight into creative work, while preserving marketing judgement and originality.

Delivery
Orbital supports the people representing an organisation, spanning media interviews, keynote presentations and leadership moments.

Fairil Yeo, EVP of AI & Growth at TEAM LEWIS, said: “The advantage increasingly lies with organisations that can act quickly on what they already know. Orbital is designed to shorten the distance between insight and action - helping marketing and communications teams work more effectively across markets, channels and teams.”

Chief Operating Officer at TEAM LEWIS, Yvonne van Bokhoven, added: “Technology can connect information, but it cannot replace judgement. Orbital gives our specialists a clearer view of what matters, more quickly. The decisions - and the responsibility for making them well - remain human.”
