Celebrating Macktez’s Book Launch: Tame the Tech Beast

We’re excited to celebrate the launch of Tame the Tech Beast, a new book from our partners at Macktez.

Through our 4THBIN+ program, we’ve had the opportunity to work alongside Macktez and support the broader conversation this book brings forward. Tame the Tech Beast presents a clear and timely perspective: IT is not just a support function, it is a strategic advantage waiting to be unlocked.

Authors Noah Landow and Michael Horst explore the realities many organizations face today as they navigate increasingly complex technology environments. Their approach highlights how, with the right strategy, organizations of any size or sector can shift IT from a reactive burden into a meaningful driver of progress.

In a business landscape that continues to evolve quickly, technology is no longer operating in the background. It plays a central role in how companies grow, adapt, and compete. Yet many still treat IT as an afterthought, only recognizing its importance when something goes wrong. This book challenges that mindset and encourages a more intentional, forward looking approach to technology and leadership.

We’re proud to support this launch as a sponsor, as well as Macktez’s ongoing Tête à Tech events, which continue to bring thoughtful conversations around technology and leadership to the forefront.

Join Us at the Launch Event

Macktez will be hosting a book launch party on Thursday, April 16 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and we’ll be there to celebrate alongside them.

If you’re in the area, we encourage you to stop by, connect, and be part of the conversation. We’ll also have a limited number of complimentary copies available to share.

If you’re looking for a fresh perspective on how technology can better support long term growth and resilience, this is a message worth exploring.

Happy Halloween!

To some, the spookiest part of Halloween may be the ghosts or vampires, but to us, it’s the plastic waste that is left behind. Nearly 2,000 tonnes of plastic waste are generated yearly from Halloween scraps, the equivalent of 83 million water bottles. Similar to electronic waste, the scraps that are left behind from Halloween will end up in a landfill - posing major hazards to the environment and humanity.
