A legal operator, a Six Sigma engineer, and a combat-decorated Army officer in one founder.
Jake Rebo is the Founder and CEO of Cullis AI, LLC, a Montana-based AI governance consulting, CLE, and expert witness firm. He brings together a JD/MBA, a Six Sigma Master Black Belt, fifteen years of U.S. Army Active Duty service, and over a decade of enterprise legal operations and AI governance experience to a single mission: helping Montana law firms wield AI safely, ethically, and defensibly.
Cullis AI exists because most lawyers cannot afford to be wrong about AI. The wrong tool, the wrong contract, the wrong workflow can trigger a Rule 1.6 confidentiality breach, a malpractice claim, or a State Bar grievance long before it produces a productivity gain. Jake built Cullis AI to be the firm that closes that gap for Montana attorneys: producing the evidentiary record, the policies, and the supervision discipline that turn AI from a liability vector into a defensible practice tool.
Before founding Cullis AI, Jake led legal operations and AI governance work inside the enterprise. At Nokia, he co-authored the company's AI Coding Rules of Engagement, built the AI use case screening process, approved more than twenty large language models against Nokia's enterprise AI standards, and helped architect the company's enterprise AI governance framework. At Infinera (now Nokia), he co-authored the company's AI Use Policy, led the Ironclad contract lifecycle management implementation, and secured Infinera's TradeFirst status.
Jake's fifteen years of U.S. Army Active Duty shaped the discipline he brings to every Cullis AI engagement. Two combat tours in Iraq with over 500 combat missions and a Combat Action Badge. One combat tour in Afghanistan in 2012, where he earned the Bronze Star Medal and was inducted into the Honorable Order of Saint Christopher. He retired at the rank of Captain. The same accountability of record that produced defensible operations downrange now produces defensible AI governance for Montana law firms.
