Professional Journey

Merichovitis built her career in software companies backed by private equity, where the job is often to prepare a business for its next owner or its next stage of growth. At Sitecore, which is backed by EQT, she held various global roles in strategy and commercial leadership and led strategic initiatives across international markets.

She then became Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer at Kyriba, which is backed by Bridgepoint and General Atlantic. Duco says she led Kyriba’s strategic transformation and value creation agenda there, with significant improvements in both growth and profitability. Litera’s account says that work helped position the business for its next chapter.

In June 2025 Litera, the legal technology company, appointed her to a newly combined role as Chief Business Transformation & Operations Officer, reporting directly to CEO Avaneesh Marwaha. Marwaha said Litera needed more operational focus to meet its goals and that she could add “the rigor needed to continue to scale”. She described transformation as being about “building the operational backbone that delivers performance at scale”.

She is now Chief Operating Officer of Duco, under founder and CEO Christian Nentwich. The role covers People, Operations, IT and Information Security. Duco describes her as someone who builds the teams, operating models and infrastructure that let a business scale “with greater speed, discipline and operational excellence”.

She is based in the UK. Outside work she supports cleft care in underserved communities in Ghana through the charity Smile Train.
