“Neil and I have been involved with the success of this company since the early days and we’ve complemented each other very well, fine-tuning our individual strengths to advance critical initiatives for our company, our customers and employees,” says Modi. “Now, as the ultimate decision makers for tiag’s future, we’re expanding upon and pushing to the forefront the new ideas for solutions and capabilities that we’ve been working on for the past couple of years.”
“tiag has always been focused on innovation, and this year we’re doubling down on that by heightening our quality processes and simplifying delivery of services,” says Lampton. “Equally important — having watched and learned from our illustrious co-founders as we’ve come up through the ranks all these years — our goal is to maintain the unique, close-knit company culture that has made tiag successful and inspired our desire to continue being a part of this great company.”
tiag employees honored their outgoing co-founders and celebrated tiag’s new leaders during a year-end all-hands company event.
