About

I'm Jon Anunson, currently the Sr. Product Manager for Insights & Recommendations and Master Data Transformation at Ingram Micro.

I’m here to connect with technical leaders and talent who want to move past the hype and build high-integrity, scalable systems that solve real-world problems.

Opinions

  • Most companies have a governance and visibility problem, not an AI problem.
  • Technology must be tied to business outcomes, never viewed merely as a cost.
  • Software incumbents often fail to address basic user pain points for decades.
  • AI must be hallucination-resistant with human-in-the-loop validation.
