Steno, a tech-enabled provider of legal support and court reporting services, has named Prabhdeep Singh—who has held executive roles at technology companies such as Clover, WeWork, and Uber—as Chief Operating Officer (COO) in a strategic move aimed at accelerating growth. Singh brings extensive experience in scaling operations from roles such as global head of marketplace at WeWork, head of enterprise at Uber Eats, and chief growth officer at Clover Health, and was most recently an operating partner at Armory Square Ventures.
In an interview, Steno CEO and co-founder Greg Hong highlighted Singh’s critical experience, which he believes will help scale Steno from a $100 million company to a $1 billion enterprise. This year, Steno has already seen 119% year-over-year growth, partly fueled by its launch in May of Transcript Genius, a tool that uses generative AI for dynamic transcript interaction.
Singh was attracted to Steno by the opportunity to innovate in court reporting, an industry traditionally characterized by commoditized approaches. He emphasized Steno’s “inside-out” thinking, which focuses on developing technology from the perspective of legal professionals’ workflows rather than designing solutions that impose from an outside view.
Key strategic directions for Steno under Singh’s leadership include expanding its product line, exemplified by products like Transcript Genius, and approaching market conversations by focusing on improving the practice of law through its Steno Connect platform. Retaining current customers by maintaining high service standards is another pillar of their strategy. According to Hong, delivering on both core services and unique product offerings will enable steady growth.
Steno’s executive team now includes Hong, Dylan Ruga as president and CLO, Dan Anderson as CTO and CISO, and Carly Savar as general counsel. The company has raised multiple financing rounds, including a $15 million Series B round last year and another $46 million in financing this past May.
