Sitting down with John Tolbert of KuppingerCole
I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with John Tolbert over many years. I first got to know John as a client when I was at Burton Group and he was at Boeing. Ever since our first conversations, I have always been a huge fan of the way he approaches complex problems. I had the opportunity to sit down with him at EIC 2024 and it was a blast!

It’s been a whirlwind… especially when you through in a very compressed Identiverse on top of that too.
Definitely there have been touch and go moments - moments of self-doubt - but overall I have absolutely loved the journey.
