Every ITAD services company says the same three things. Secure. Sustainable. Maximum recovery value. Tim Suhling has sat inside hundreds of these conversations, and he told me flat out that sounding the same is quietly holding back growth for a lot of IT asset disposition companies who think they are just doing what everyone el...
Four engineering students at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo set out to answer one question: what actually happens to electronics once people are done with them. That question led them into ITAD, an industry that has run for decades on gut feel, spreadsheets, and hard won experience. Two years and a $125,000 investmen...

Most people in this industry have been in IT asset disposition their whole careers. Josh Jones walked in nine months ago from the outside and immediately started rewiring how remarketing gets done. That kind of fresh perspective is rare and it is worth paying attention to.

The IT asset disposition industry has run on gut instinct and tribal knowledge for decades. Two product managers, same piece of refurbished enterprise IT, two completely different numbers. That is the problem Garima Oza set out to solve, and it is a bigger deal than most people in ITAD realize.
