Bob Montford
Government technology professional at Innovate! Inc. Part of the team that delivered EPA Salesforce solutions and federal technology programs. One of the people who made Innovate great.
The Arc
Bob Montford was part of the Innovate! Inc. team. In government technology, the team is everything. You can have the best individual contributor in the world, but if the team around them doesn't function, the project fails. Innovate's team functioned. It delivered. Year after year, project after project. Bob was part of that.
At Innovate, the work was complex government Salesforce implementations — EPA program offices with strict compliance requirements, federal security standards, and the kind of multi-stakeholder dynamics that make simple things complicated and complicated things nearly impossible. The Innovate team made it look manageable. Bob contributed to that.
When you list the people who were part of the Innovate story — Josh Long, Catherine Nolan, Larry Spackman, Jordon Schulman, Mark Filpus, Matt Brumberger, Stacey Cogswell, Tom Perkowitz — Bob is on that list. Every person on that list mattered.
