Infra/STRUCTURE Summit
Panel · “Where Are We with Enterprise Adoption and Where Is It Headed?”
With Philbert Shih (Structure Research), Don Schuett (TierPoint), and Kyle Verzello (Colohouse)
Speaking
Panels, podcasts, and keynotes, on regulated technology services, operating models, and the founder-PE table.
What I speak about
Four topics from an operator's perspective.
Mostly intersecting.
01
Regulated-industry technology services
What the buyer's chair actually looks like in financial services, healthcare, legal, manufacturing, and logistics, and what their technology partner should be doing differently.
02
Cybersecurity in regulated industries
Threat landscape from the operator's view. MDR/XDR/SOC convergence. Compliance-driven security. Vendor accountability. Cyber insurance reality.
03
AI in services delivery
Where AI is changing services-business economics and where the conventional take is wrong. Margin compression, automation density, what AI fails at in operations.
04
Platform operating & PE partnership
What it actually takes to build a platform inside PE. The founder-PE bridge from the rare CEO who has sat in both chairs. Why most MSP roll-ups destroy value and which patterns actually work.
Past engagements
Where the work has shown up.
