Senior Management Team
Wayne Greenberg, COO
Wayne Greenberg was President of Shepard’s, the legal citation company from which we get the term Shepardizing®. Wayne has held various senior management positions at LEXIS/NEXIS®, the world’s largest provider of on-line professional information. He holds a B.A. in public communications from Boston University and a J.D. and M.B.A from Tulane University, where he was associate dean of the law school for 10 years. He has also been President of the National Association for Law Placement and founded its first office.

He has significant experience with venture capital and has directed many start-ups, primarily in legal technology and cleantech. He was President of E Source, a start-up energy information firm that he grew to be on Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing companies in America. Wayne was also President of Financial Times Energy, a division of the Financial Times Group of London.
Mike Boucher, Founder and CEO
In his 30-year technology career, Mike has focused on developing and deploying advanced technologies for the military, government, and private companies. His first company, Dakota Scientific Software, developed and sold scientific and mathematical software that optimized computer programs for nuclear weapons simulations, weather prediction, vehicle crash testing, and others. He sold Dakota Scientific Software to Sun Microsystems in 1998. Mike has an M.S. in Computer Science from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and holds numerous patents.
After selling Dakota Scientific Software, Mike went to law school where he earned a spot in the top 10% of his class, but then was driven out of legal studies by the prospect of a lifetime of manual management of Bluebook citation minutiae. He determined his life would be better spent applying advanced technology to help attorneys become happier and more productive. Citrus® was conceived a short time later.

He was also a principal investigator on a practical software system to allow people who were not computer science experts to develop complex simulations of nuclear fusion and weapons detonation.
