Ron is President and Chairman of Anglepoint and chairs the ISO ITAM Standards Committee (known as “Working Group 21”). It’s this committee that develops the ISO 19770 family of standards.

“I am thrilled to collaborate with Salomé, Martin Thompson, and the exceptional team at the ITAM Forum. ITAM is swiftly adapting to meet emerging business needs in areas such as FinOps, cybersecurity, Green IT, and AI. As the sole non-profit guiding the ITAM profession on a truly global scale, the ITAM Forum is uniquely positioned to tackle these exciting challenges.”
