Procure IT, the Managed Intelligence company, has appointed Corey Whiting as Chief AI Officer (CAIO) in a newly created role. Whiting will lead the company's AI strategy and technology roadmap, accelerating the delivery of data-driven insights that empower midmarket and enterprise organizations to make smarter optimization, procurement and business intelligence decisions.
"From the very beginning, our vision for Procure IT has been to create a software platform that delivers managed intelligence, empowering organizations to cut waste, reduce risk and make informed IT decisions," said Andrew Laughter, Co-Founder and CRO of Procure IT. "Corey's experience makes him the perfect fit to take that vision forward. Having known Corey for over two decades, I can attest to his character and expertise. His depth in data pipelines and software architecture enhances our team's capabilities, putting us in a stronger position than ever to reshape the way IT and business decisions are made." Whiting will oversee the continued development of Procure IT's Managed Intelligence Platform, including integration and application of the company's AI Virtual Assistant (AVA). AVA gives enterprises instant, conversational access to insights across their entire IT stack — from usage and licenses to contracts, financials and performance metrics — shifting from static dashboards to real-time, actionable intelligence. "My role at Procure IT is about embedding intelligence everywhere, taking the data we have and turning it into insights that drive better, faster IT business decisions," said Whiting. "The opportunity here is huge to turn all this data into managed intelligence so that companies can make smarter decisions at scale." "Dashboards are dead," said Whiting. "Organizations don't want to dig through data — they want answers. Procure IT's Managed Intelligence Platform gives them those answers instantly, in context and ready to act on."
Whiting brings 26 years of software engineering and data innovation to Procure IT. He has a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Computer Science, and a career defined by turning data into insights that drive business outcomes. He began his career at Stats Perform, where he developed algorithms and analytics from sports data sets. Building on that experience, he went on to found BaseballCloud, a platform delivering data-driven scouting and player development insights. Later, he co-founded RoyFi, a fintech company that leveraged music streaming data to accurately project music royalties and provide funding for artists, combining predictive analytics with financial impact. In addition to his role as CAIO, Whiting joins Andrew Laughter, CEO Randy Jeter and CIO Phil Ben-Joseph as a Partner in Procure IT. He will work with Laughter at the company's Winter Park, Fla., office. "Agentic AI is going to reshape how IT environments are managed," said Ben-Joseph. "We're building Procure IT's platform to make sure enterprises are ready for that shift, helping them understand, control and optimize their data like never before."
