Ramona Roach is the Principal and CEO of Ethika Group, an Australian advisory firm supporting legal, governance and risk professionals. With a background spanning law, governance, risk and technology strategy, Ramona works at the intersection of professional services and responsible AI adoption. As an SME firm owner herself, Ramona understands firsthand the operational, financial and cultural pressures facing small to mid-sized law firms. Rather than layering additional software onto existing systems, she led the internal redesign of her firm’s operating model, building an AI-enabled platform, Ethos, to consolidate workflows, improve visibility and strengthen governance foundations. Ramona is passionate about helping legal professionals move beyond technology fatigue toward intentional, sustainable firm design. She regularly speaks on AI governance, professional evolution and the future of legal practice, with a focus on practical implementation grounded in integrity and Australian regulatory context.
