Background

About Robert W. Kruse

As Intel’s SME on eDiscovery and digital forensics, I lead global initiatives that sit at the intersection of legal innovation, enterprise data, and cutting-edge technology. With a background spanning both in-house and consulting roles, I specialize in architecting scalable workflows, integrating AI solutions like chatbots for legal operations, and driving cross-functional adoption of advanced analytics platforms. At Intel, I serve as the Global Digital Forensics and eDiscovery Subject Matter Expert, where I’ve spearheaded the implementation of enterprise eDiscovery solutions, developed training programs for legal teams, and implemented streamlined review strategies that have cut data volumes by over 75%. My experience includes high-stakes civil and criminal casework, deep technical expertise in industry-standard tools, and a proven ability to bridge technical and legal domains. I’m passionate about building defensible, future-ready legal infrastructure—and mentoring teams along the way. Whether it’s guiding global investigations, designing forensic solutions, or aligning stakeholders around shared data strategies, I thrive at the convergence of law, tech, and operational excellence.
