DISCO CEO Kiwi Camara said: “After a remarkable year for DISCO, It is an honor to be recognized by EY as an Entrepreneur Of The Year Central South Award finalist. As we approach the one year anniversary of our IPO, the opportunity to use technology to transform the practice of law is being embraced by more and more legal professionals around the world. It’s incredible to see the potential for technology to improve legal outcomes and deliver justice, and I couldn’t be prouder that DISCO is at the forefront of this revolution.”

In 2021, Camara was recognized by the Austin Business Journal as Best CEO, Public Company, and as a Top CEO by The Austin Chamber of Commerce’s Greater Austin Business Awards. He was also one of the Top 50 SaaS CEOs of 2020 by The Software Report.
