Leanne Geale — Group General Counsel, Nestlé
Leanne Geale, Group General Counsel at Nestlé, is a strong proponent of leveraging technology to deliver better legal services. When her team went looking for a way to reduce costs and bring a competitive angle to outside counsel selection, they found PERSUIT.
The partnership was more than a software rollout — Nestlé described it as a true collaboration. From templates and training to best practices and e-billing integration, PERSUIT helped the Nestlé team capture the right data, evaluate spend and firms more intelligently, and upskill their in-house lawyers.
The result was a legal function that didn't just manage costs — it actively added value to the business. With better data powering better decisions, Nestlé's legal team positioned itself as a forward-looking, technology-enabled partner to the enterprise.
