Texas tech mogul Kiwi Camara leaves company he founded with $100 million payoff ‘after shoving MEAT in young worker’s face and groping her’
- The founder of CS Disco, 39, allegedly groped a colleague during a drunken party in Austin on September 6
- Employees say they saw him shove meat in his face and order him to “eat like an animal.”
- He also allegedly tried to get her to come with him to his $4 million luxury apartment.
A Texas tech boss left the company he founded with a $100 million settlement after being accused of groping a young female worker and shoving meat in her face.
Kiwi Camara, 39, abruptly resigned as CEO of CS Disco – a decade after launching the niche software aimed at lawyers, now valued at $427.58 million.
It has now emerged that Camara, Harvard’s youngest law graduate, is under investigation by the firm over his alleged behavior towards a colleague during a drunken night out with staff .
THE Wall Street Journal reports that on the night of September 6, Camara encouraged staff to drink shots of tequila before heading with a small group to dinner at Austin’s Peacock Mediterranean Grill, where dishes cost up to $215 each.
While there, he allegedly forced roasted meat onto a young colleague’s face and ordered her to “eat it like an animal.”
Kiwi Camara, 39, allegedly groped his colleague after a drunken evening with CS Disco staff.
The alleged assault took place on September 6 at Parrot Mediterranean Grill in Austin, Texas, where entrees cost up to $215 and cocktails start at $18.
He then allegedly groped her and, despite her obvious discomfort, tried to convince her to return home to his $4 million apartment overlooking the Colorado River.
The incident reportedly stopped once employees intervened, with the behavior reported to HR the next day.
His resignation means he loses stock options once valued at nearly $110 million.
Camara was one of nine CEOs with a higher salary than Apple boss Tim Cook.
The Philippine-born businessman graduated from Harvard Law at age 19, after leaving high school at 14 and earning a computer science degree from Hawaii Pacific University at 16.
He founded CS Disco in 2013 to help lawyers sift through documents and identify potential evidence.
The company hired hundreds of employees, called “Discovians,” who were encouraged to attend wild parties with the CEO.
Camara allegedly tried to persuade the co-worker to move back into her luxury $4 million condominium in the lavish Austonian resort overlooking the Colorado River after the incident.
Camara founded CS Disco in 2013 at the age of 29 and allegedly attempted to promote a culture that involved excessive drinking and wild parties.
The Sept. 6 incident sparked an external investigation into Camara’s behavior, led by the law firm Cooley LLP.
The investigation reportedly took place a year after the first complaints were filed regarding Camara’s behavior towards other female employees.
Other allegations include that he reviewed women’s applications using their photos and that he deliberately sought out women to work within his department as part of the emerging leader rotation program he created within the company.
A former ELRP associate compared the project to “love island” and claimed that Camara often pressured staff to drink.
They told the Wall Street Journal: “He would say things like, ‘I’ll fire you if you don’t do things my way.'”
Since his departure, CS Disco board member Scott Hill has taken over as interim CEO.
