Kenneth Griesi
Founder & Managing Partner
25+ years. One through-line: building technology that actually changes outcomes. Not advising on it. Not whiteboarding it. Building it, and leading the people who build it, at the highest levels of commercial, federal, and mission-driven enterprise.
A $1.3B ARR platform serving over 2 million children: record NPS, record employee satisfaction, and a grant-winning product suite featured at AWS re:Invent.
A major services division pivoted from near-zero margins to a $6B ARR subscription business. The first federal cloud. A $2.5B naval infrastructure. The first federal AI/ML program with full explainability and auditability, and over $1B in federal savings delivered.
Forbes-Recognized Technology Leadership. UC San Diego lecturer of 12 years. Author of 19+ publications and keynotes. Board advisor whose work contributed to a NASDAQ IPO. Billions in value delivered across a career built on mission, not margin.
Mission Forge AI was founded on the conviction that organizations doing the world's most important work, across public sector, private enterprise, nonprofit, and startup, deserve access to the same quality of AI strategy and implementation available to the largest companies on earth. Our specialty is organizations with a genuine mission to make the world better, safer, or more just. With AI reshaping everything, that has never mattered more.
Every engagement begins with one question: how does AI move the needle on your specific mission outcomes? Not what is technically possible, what is right for you, now and in the future. AI is never just technology. It is the intersection of your people, your processes, and the tools you give them. That is where we work.
Our leadership creates space where the best thinking rises naturally, candid feedback flows in both directions, diverse perspectives are genuinely welcomed, and everyone at the table is treated as a partner with something essential to contribute.
