Janet Abiodun
Janet Abiodun is a seasoned Senior Contracts Paralegal and well-rounded legal professional known for her strategic approach to contract management and her commitment to operational excellence. Currently serving at Numeracle, she specializes in navigating complex agreements, supporting cross-functional teams, and driving efficiency across legal processes. Janet is particularly passionate about reshaping the perception of legal teams serving as a collaborative partner rather than a barrier—by working closely with business stakeholders, especially sales teams, to provide clear, thoughtful guidance that enables progress while managing risk.
Janet’s passion for legal work has been the driving force behind a diverse and dynamic career spanning multiple industries. She began her journey at a law firm to establish a strong foundation, before advancing to the Executive Office for Immigration Review within the immigration division. Transitioning into in-house counsel support roles, she has since built an entirely remote career across sectors including children’s entertainment, education technology, recruiting, home systems, and telecommunications. Her experience with organizations such as GoNoodle and Seesaw Learning highlights her ability to adapt quickly, manage high-volume contract portfolios, and support high-value partnerships with globally recognized brands.
What ultimately drew Janet to telecommunications—and to Numeracle in particular—is the company’s mission to solve everyday problems through innovation. She plays a role in supporting efforts that help businesses remediate and remove inaccurate spam call labeling, ensuring that important calls reach consumers with verified caller identification. Driven by a desire to fix problems where they exist, Janet is energized by meaningful, real-world impact. A graduate of Texas State University with a degree in Business Management, she also extends her talents as a children’s book author and mortgage loan originator, reflecting her dedication to education, empowerment, and service.

What do you attribute your success to?
Janet’s career is a masterclass in following curiosity to build a one-of-a-kind impact. From starting at a law firm and working in the DOJ immigration section to navigating software recruiting and kids’ entertainment, she’s woven a tapestry of experiences that now informs her work in telecommunications. A proud highlight was co-authoring The Bravest Kids on the Block during the pandemic—a children’s book with a coloring companion that helped little ones process a bewildering time. Today, she continues creating for kids with notebooks and journals while thriving in telecom, where she helps companies clear spam labeling so vital calls aren’t missed. She loves her team, collaborating with sales reps, and shifting the perception of legal professionals from roadblocks to partners. Her advice to young women is as bold and authentic as her journey: always push for diversity, never let anyone make your decisions, and stay relentlessly focused on your own path.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would just say to always keep pushing through. I wasn't the best performing kid in school when I was younger, but I really made a promise to myself when I got to college that things would be different. I couldn't just say it, I had to actually push through and put it into action. There's gonna always be hurdles, things that are gonna tell you maybe it's not best you do this, or things that try to change your mind or disrupt your viewpoint. But just always focus on your goal and what you want to accomplish. I've had my parents down my neck about starting law school right after college, and I told them no, I want to do it my way. I want to work out of college, get my foot in the legal industry, go from there, and then if I feel like maybe me not having my JD is hindering me from getting certain jobs, I'll pursue law school. But I'm glad that I followed my own path and didn't just do what my parents told me to do, because I've been out of college six years now, and I'm so much further in my career than some people who go to law school. I would just say to always not let things hinder you or block your path, but also listen to what you're telling yourself. Don't let people make decisions for you, because 9 times out of 10, for the most part, what you know, you know. You know what your journey's supposed to be. I'd rather live life in terms of saying that I did this my way, as opposed to someone told me how to live my life.
