Jalubro sees his experience as valuable for technology strategy, international growth, and scaling the business.

# What Ephiria does Ephiria is Jalubro's newly launched AI governance platform. According to the company description, Ephiria:

• Applies organisational, client and matter-level policy at the point of use and execution.
• Protects sensitive information before it reaches an AI model by performing redaction.
• Governs what AI agents may do, restricting actions before they are executed across systems and workflows.

Jalubro frames Ephiria as an independent control layer for environments where law firms and legal teams adopt multiple AI tools, including copilots and more agentic systems.
