## Resource

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.
