Dave Chiulli, Roadmap to Litigation Readiness Conference Chair & Speaker |
Dave Chiulli is the Roadmap to Litigation Readiness Conference Chair & Speaker. Mr. Chiulli is the of Director of Information Technologies (IT) for NMB Technologies Corporation (Minebea), NMB (USA), and New Hampshire Ball Bearings (NHBB). Mr. Chiulli has worked for NHBB since 1981, and has worked with Minebea’s world-wide IT organization since 1986.
About four years ago, Mr. Chiulli, NHBB In-House Counsel, and the Vice President of Operations formed a committee to tackle the issues that evolving technology and mobility present in business. A couple of members of the IT department were sent out to attend a class on computer forensics and imaging using a laptop they had selected from a recently departed employee. During the class they discovered (to their dismay) that this long-trusted employee, who had recently moved to a competitor, had misappropriated trade secrets over a fairly long period of time. Once the case was brought to court, it was found that a great deal of spoliation also took place on the part of the ex-employee and others to “cover their tracks”.
