Craig Carpenter said the law firm dynamic was not for him, so he decided to work in more business-facing roles as a practicing lawyer after working at a firm from 1997 to 2000. In 2006, he became the general counsel of the e-discovery company Recommind and stayed in that role until 2013.
Last year, he became the CEO of X1, a data search tool that can be used for e-discovery and is now also being used to track data to help companies comply with laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA, and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR. He is based in San Francisco.
