Based in London, Thomson will drive growth of iManage RAVN by bringing to market new and enhanced practical AI solutions that empower professionals to increase efficiency, improve productivity and mitigate risk.
iManage RAVN is a cutting-edge AI engine that enables organizations to find, organize, understand and extract key knowledge and information from documents, emails and other unstructured content. iManage RAVN is broadly used within legal, government, financial and professional services to automate tasks such as due diligence, contract management, power enterprise search and knowledge management and enhance governance by identifying documents that require restricted access or contain sensitive information.

Nick’s expertise in product strategy and development will help iManage continue to accelerate the adoption of practical AI solutions across legal and other corporate markets.”
Most recently Thomson held the position of Chief Revenue Officer at Workshare, an iManage partner, where he was responsible for marketing, sales and customer service to support business growth in new markets. In his early career he built and sold his first company, TRG Advantage, to Ceridian in 2007. Thomson is recognized for the tenacity and energy he brings to his roles.
“The opportunity to build and develop iManage RAVN is exciting, both in the near and long term,” said Thomson. “iManage RAVN powers iManage’s vision for AI augmented document management and is driving digital transformation across the wider professional services landscape. We are well-positioned to expand our global footprint and disrupt new markets with our broad set of practical AI solutions. I look forward to leading our dynamic, highly skilled team on this journey.”
