Allie Janoch is the CEO and co-founder of Mapistry, a Berkeley-born software company that turns the soul-crushing paperwork of environmental compliance into maps, mobile inspections and automated alerts for industrial and manufacturing companies. A computer-vision engineer by training - MIT Lincoln Labs, IQ Engines, Yahoo's Flickr - she walked out of a comfortable Silicon Valley job in 2013 to build software for stormwater permits, of all things, alongside her husband and environmental-engineer co-founder Ryan Janoch. The bet: regulations don't have to be the enemy of either the economy or clean water.
Neno Duplan is the founder and CEO of Locus Technologies, a Mountain View-based company he bootstrapped in 1997 to become one of the world's first cloud-based environmental, health, and safety (EHS) software providers. Born in Croatia and trained as a civil engineer, Duplan earned his Ph.D. at the University of Zagreb, an M.S. from Carnegie Mellon, and advanced management training at Stanford. He pioneered the commercial SaaS model for environmental data management - deploying the world's first such product in 1999 - and has spent nearly three decades helping governments, utilities, and corporations track, manage, and report their environmental footprints. With more than 30 technical papers published, 11,000+ active users, and a 98% customer renewal rate, Duplan has built Locus into a durable, self-funded software company at the intersection of environmental science and enterprise technology.
Robert 'Bob' Felton is a serial entrepreneur and nuclear-turned-software pioneer who has founded three enterprise software companies over a 40-year career - TENERA, Indus International, and DevonWay - each leveraging new computing paradigms to serve the nuclear and utilities industries. After Ideagen acquired DevonWay in September 2023, Felton now serves as CEO of Ideagen EHS, bringing his lifelong mission of transforming industrial operations through software full circle. A Cornell-trained mechanical engineer and decorated Navy submarine officer, Felton coined the term 'Enterprise Asset Management' alongside Gartner Group and took two companies public before building DevonWay's no-code platform for EHS, quality, and workforce management.
