He Ran City IT. Now He Builds the Software That Runs Cities. | Tom Amburgey, Euna Solutions

About this episode

Tom Amburgey discusses his transition from CIO to leading Euna Solutions, focusing on government procurement and public fund management.

Tom Amburgey served as CIO for two Florida municipalities before spending two decades on the vendor side of govtech. Today he leads Euna Solutions, a platform managing hundreds of billions in public funds across 3,600+ government organizations in the US and Canada. In this conversation, Robin and Tom dig into the broken government procurement problem, the AI tool that reviews RFPs before they go live, what vendors get wrong about selling to government, and why some agencies were still running on spreadsheets while managing $600 billion in public funds.
