Brian Thomas

I'm in Kansas City.

So I just really appreciate you making the time and jumping time zones and calendars, et cetera, to get here.

So thank you again.

And John, if you don't mind, I'm jumping into your first question.

You've built an impressive career leading multiple innovative software companies from founding

Appama to now serving as a CEO of DOCSIS.

What key experiences shaped your journey to where you are today?

That's amazing.

Thank you.

And I appreciate your background.

Obviously, your educational, your research PhD background has made a difference and contributed to your success.

Just extensive career here.

And I liked how you looked through this product lens, as you talked about, because you mentioned you built everything from the ground up.

You did product, you did design, leadership, you did it all.

And I think because of that, you built some of the most powerful.

innovative companies and software.

And now you're actually leveraging that power of AI in this new document automation, document management end to end.

And I think that's amazing.

So thank you.

And John at DOCSIS, you're focused on intelligent content automation.
