James was working for the state department as a consultant, and was a customer of his current venture. He was chosen to implement the solution, which turned out to be a successful project. Post that project, he was approached by the company to lead projects on the east coast and eventually landed in the CEO role.
Most companies are drowning in tool sprawl, but James’ approach of orchestrating existing systems rather than replacing them is the smarter path to modernization.

How are you seeing this shift affect the way companies prioritize their 2026 IT budgets?
