Today, my co-founder Matt Jackson and I are proud to officially launch Fog Solutions after 6 incredible months in stealth mode! We're seizing this pivotal AI moment to transform industries alongside our exceptional consultant technologists and early trailblazing clients.   Our maniacal focus: fostering long-term partnerships that rapidly generate value for our clients. Navigating the AI frontier demands intimate understanding of client challenges - not just cutting-edge tech. That's why we immerse ourselves in your world from day one, co-creating tailored AI solutions on Microsoft and Databricks platforms.   The biggest differentiator you will LOVE when working with Fog: You'll work with the same talented team throughout our partnership, collaborating to deliver intuitive solutions that enhance decision-making, operations, customer experiences and more. No bait-and-switch here, from initial scoping to after the contract is signed and beyond, you’ll work with the same team you fall in love with on day 1.   This potent combination far exceeds off-the-shelf “me too” software, creating AI that feels innate to your organization while relentlessly driving measurable impact. We're primed to blaze this trail alongside pioneers - let's seize the era of unified, generative, pervasive AI together. -Jeff https://lnkd.in/ea_dFYvB

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Academy Accreditation - Databricks Lakehouse Fundamentals from Databricks!

On September 1st, my seven-year journey with Insight came to a close. I can genuinely say that it was the most fulfilling job I've ever had at the finest company I've had the privilege to work for. Throughout my career, I've always valued both professional success and fun, and Insight has embodied that ethos. For those who know me well, Insight has been more than a workplace; it's been my family, my passion, and my purpose for over seven years. I'm immensely grateful for my brilliant brother, Mike Dodge, whose introduction brought me to Insight. Equally important is my dear friend and mentor, Matt Jackson, the man who sealed the deal to bring me into BlueMetal, an Insight Company. Matt's leadership has been instrumental in my growth, and I've learned so much from him. I've had the privilege of working under the leadership of both Stan Lequin and Matt at various times, learning from the very best about servant leadership. They consistently prioritize others' needs, and I thank them for their unwavering support. Professionally, Insight allowed me to lead exceptional teams in delivering groundbreaking solutions for diverse clients across various industries. We navigated uncharted waters during the pandemic, exploring new business models and even creating brand new products. It was a journey unlike any other. The secret to my success at Insight isn't really a secret at all – it's the incredible people. My peers, my "first team," have been invaluable sources of wisdom and support. Those teammates kind enough to call me their leader brought incredible talents and skills to bear, making audacious goals achievable, often leading to award-winning outcomes. It's not goodbye, but a turning of the page. I'm excited about the future, and I look forward to staying in touch with all of you, just as we always have in the past. Insight is well on its way to becoming the leading solutions integrator, and I wish everyone there the very best. It's an incredible company filled with outstanding individuals, and the future is brimming with opportunities. Speaking of future opportunities, I'll be sharing my next act very soon and needless to say it was exciting enough to wrench me from these people I love so much. Stay tuned! Thank you all for the cherished memories, exceptional experiences, and lasting friendships that I will carry with me always.

I'm excited to share that Insight has been recognized as the 2023 Microsoft Solution Assessments Partner of the Year ! This recognition speaks to our commitment to providing innovative solutions for our clients. Read more on this award: http://ms.spr.ly/6045gAk5D
