Atomic Conversations is brought to you by Team Atomicwork, where we are building the agentic service management platform of the future. Every fortnight, we will be speaking to some of the sharpest minds in IT to figure out how they are taking service management to the next level.

Nipun Soni is the CFO at Picarro, an environmental services company based in California.
Why are we talking to a CFO on an IT podcast, you may ask?
Because Nipun is in charge of not just Finance at Picarro, but is also the CIO, and leads Legal and HR too, which is exactly why we wanted to hear his perspective on IT and its role in this organization.
Nipun is an industry veteran with decades of experience, having held similar roles at Oracle, Quotient Technology, Guardant Health, and BillionToOne. He is highly respected within ITSM and CXO circles, and his knowledge and vision mean that there's lots to learn.

We are delighted to be bringing you this conversation. Enjoy.
