Kamran Saddique Is Making Government Paperwork Behave Like Software
His route from Sun Microsystems and Gulf finance to public-sector software explains an unusual bet: the least glamorous government workflows may be where technology can do its most practical work.
Vijay Sikka
Vijay Sikka is the founder, chairman and CEO of Sikka.ai (Sikka Software Corporation), a San Jose company that runs a single AI-API cloud platform for the roughly $1 trillion retail healthcare market. He started building AI systems as a college student in the mid-1980s and has spent more than 25 years on large-scale decision systems at Intel, NIH, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche and UCSF affiliates. After founding and exiting two earlier companies, IBrain Software and Bodha.com, he grew Sikka into a platform reaching tens of thousands of practices and over 120 million patients, and was named AI-Driven Healthcare Solutions CEO of the Year for 2024.
Frank Zamani
Frank Zamani is the Founder, President, and CEO of Caspio, a pioneering low-code platform that has powered over one million business applications in 150+ countries. Born Farhang Zamani in Tehran, Iran, he fled religious persecution as a Baha'i in 1986, was smuggled across the border to Pakistan, and received U.S. asylum in 1988 - arriving in San Francisco with his brother and just $70 between them. After earning a CS degree from Cal State Chico, working on Microsoft's PowerPoint team, and co-founding Autoweb.com (which IPO'd in 1999 at a $938 million valuation), he started Caspio in 2000 with a single conviction: business professionals should not need to code to build the tools their organizations need. By 2024, Caspio had grown to $120.7 million in annual revenue, 15,000+ customers, and roughly 230 employees.
Robert Felton
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.
Hermann Tribukait
Hermann Tribukait is the co-founder and CEO of Atinary Technologies, a Lausanne- and Silicon Valley-based deeptech startup that built SDLabs — a no-code AI/ML platform compressing years of R&D into days. A Harvard-trained economist who helped coin the term 'Self-Driving Labs®' in 2017, Tribukait has channeled a career spent brokering $200M+ in global R&D partnerships into software that lets machines design experiments, learn from results, and iterate without human bias getting in the way. Atinary's tools are now used in pharma, biotech, chemicals, and climate tech, with a physical self-driving lab open in Boston since early 2026.
