Former Patreon and Pinterest attorney Jasmine Singh has come aboard San Francisco contract software company Ironclad, filling the general counsel role held by Chris Young for six years.
Young, who previously served as general counsel for GoFundMe, left Ironclad in June, stating on LinkedIn that he wanted to “take a breath.”
Singh joins Ironclad after two years as general counsel of Binti, an Oakland, California-based company that develops foster care software.
San Francisco-based Ironclad launched in 2015 to develop lifecycle management platforms for the business community. Customers include OpenAI and L’Oréal.
The company has attracted more than $330 million in venture capital from investors like Franklin Templeton and Sequoia. By some estimates, the valuation now exceeds $3 billion.
Last month, Ironclad launched an AI-powered assistant for legal professionals known as Jurist.
“I am a lawyer – I believe deeply in the essential role lawyers play and the value we bring to business – and Ironclad’s commitment to supporting lawyers, legal departments and businesses alike is truly electric,” Singh wrote on LinkedIn.
Jeremy Smith, president of Ironclad, alluded to Singh’s experience in the software industry.
“Having lawyers who understand exactly why we’re building our platform and who we’re building it for is a huge benefit to our organization – and we’re confident Jasmine will play an important role in helping us gain leverage over the contracts of the world,” Smith said in a statement.
Prior to her two years at Binti, Singh spent six months at Patreon, as deputy general counsel. From 2018 to 2022, she served as assistant general counsel of Pinterest.
Singh was an associate at Kerr & Wagstaffe, Arnold & Porter and Kirkland & Ellis.
She graduated from UCLA Law School in 2008 and holds bachelor’s degrees in political science and English from the University of Michigan.
Earlier this year, Singh was named to Corporate Counsel’s Women, Influence & Power in Law Awards.
Singh has embraced equality, inclusivity and pro bono work. She founded a pro bono program at Pinterest and developed a mentorship program for women for 24 Hour Fitness.
Sing also founded the Oakland-based Dincert, which raises money for nonprofits and other philanthropic efforts.
