The leadership of enterprise identity security firm SailPoint is in Singapore for a business trip, and Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian headed downtown to meet with the team and to find out what’s brewing for the firm. But first, who is SailPoint and what exactly is identity security? Founded in 2005, SailPoint delivers innovative solutions that address what it describes as some of the world’s most dynamic security issues. In particular, the company focuses on identity security by automating and streamlining the complexity of delivering the right access to the right identities at the right time. It might sound like a mouthful, but think of SailPoint as a security guard that ensures only the right personnel enter the right office buildings and gain access only to information that they are authorised to hold. Except that in this case, SailPoint manages and grants access to enterprise applications and data automatically, at speed and at scale. With a presence in over 60 countries and a team of over 2,600 employees, SailPoint serves some of the biggest enterprises in the world ranging from automaker General Motors, to chocolate manufacturer Hershey. And SailPoint is an interesting company to talk about, given how it raised US$1.38 billion in its upsized IPO on the NASDAQ in February 2025 – the first major tech listing of 2025. Now, this is not the first time that the firm has gone public. It first did so back in 2017, three years after being acquired by private equity firm Thoma Bravo. The story gets more exciting here, because Thoma Bravo was the one who took the company private in a second acquisition after SailPoint’s first IPO. So what was the rationale behind the second IPO, and how is SailPoint faring in the months since going public again? Meanwhile, SailPoint said the company is setting its sights on Singapore and Asia Pacific at a time when demand for advanced, AI-driven identity security solutions is surging. But what are the specific opportunities present in the region? What are some major investments by the firm in the region then? In this “On the Go Special” episode of Under the Radar, Tian Tian posed these questions to Mark McClain, CEO, SailPoint.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Dan Czech, Vice President of Insights at KLAS, and my colleague Mark Ewrich, Chief Strategy Officer at Health Launchpad, and I discuss a  “Must-Read” study, “Navigating the Uncertainty of Federal Policy 2025.”Dan and his team at KLAS surveyed almost 170 healthcare organizations to understand how they're responding to recent federal policy changes and budget uncertainties.In this week's episode, you will learn how healthcare organizations are navigating through shifting federal policies without clear direction. The study reveals that 90% of organizations feel they lack the clarity needed to act decisively, and 85% have developed multiple contingency plans to respond to policy changes.Dan, Mark, I talked through the five key themes from this study. They have significant implications for healthcare technology vendors. Most surprisingly, despite all the uncertainty, IT budgets aren't being frozen - they're being redirected toward specific priorities like AI, automation, and cybersecurity. Organizations are looking for solutions that can help them reduce workforce costs while maintaining the quality of care.Mark provides insightful commentary throughout our discussion on how healthcare technology companies should position themselves in this environment - focusing on de-risking solutions, demonstrating clear ROI, and aligning with the specific areas where organizations are still willing to invest.This study is essential reading for anyone selling into healthcare right now, as it provides a roadmap for understanding where opportunities still exist despite the challenging environment.Key Topics Covered:(00:00:00) Introduction (00:02:00) Contingency Planning(00:05:00) Theme 1: Planning Through the Fog(00:07:00) Theme 2: Policy Shifts Drive Hard Choices(00:11:00) Theme 3: IT Budgets Redirected, Not Frozen(00:15:00) Theme 4: AI as the Bright Spot(00:19:00) Theme 5: Value-Based Care Momentum(00:24:00) Theme 6: Small Organizations at Greater Risk(00:26:00) Closing Thoughts and TakeawaysKLAS Report: Government and Regulatory Impact on Healthcare Delivery Organizations 2025Want to learn more about planning for changing regulations?

In this episode of Clocking Out, we meet Haley Pollack — a former academic and educator whose life took a dramatic turn when she was diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer at age 37. A mother of two, including a six-month-old at the time, Haley found herself navigating not only a devastating diagnosis but also the emotional complexity of parenting through it.Haley's career began in academia, with a PhD in U.S. history and a deep passion for teaching. After a decade in the adjunct “rat race,” she left higher education to work at the intersection of criminal justice and education, teaching English and literature to incarcerated students at San Quentin. The work was humbling, eye-opening, and deeply transformative. It challenged her assumptions, expanded her empathy, and reminded her of the power of education to change lives. It was some of the most meaningful work of her life — until illness steered her toward a different mission.Her diagnosis left her searching for support — not just as a patient, but as a parent. That search led to a transformative friendship and, ultimately, the founding of Bright Spot Network, a nonprofit that supports young families navigating a parent's cancer diagnosis. Today, Bright Spot serves thousands of families each year through peer support groups, parenting resources, financial assistance, and community-building tools.Haley shares how her personal crisis reshaped her professional purpose, why she believes connection is key to healing, and how her work is bringing light to others in their darkest moments. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in hardship, we can build something hopeful — for ourselves and for others.Connect with Haley at:Website: http://www.brightspotnetwork.org/Instagram: @brightspotnetworkFacebook: @brightspotnetworkLinkedIn: Bright Spot NetworkLinkedIn: Haley PollackFollow Raymond: LinkedIn: Raymond LeeInstagram: @raymondlee.coTiktok: @clockingoutpodX: @hrentrepreneurYoutube: @clockingoutwithraymondleeClick Here to become a guest on Clocking Out
