CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, July 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Refoundry today announced that it has been named to MSP Summit’s 2026 MSPs to Watch list, an elevated list recognizing 130 exceptional managed service providers that demonstrate not only world-class operational performance but also strategic vision in the era of AI.

“This recognition reflects the work our team does every day, by helping organizations move from AI experimentation to AI that’s governed, secured, and operating with the same rigor as any other part of their business,” said Rich Lilly, CTO and Partner at Refoundry. “The enterprises that win in the agentic era won’t be the ones with the most agents. They’ll be the ones that built the infrastructure to govern them. That’s the problem we’re here to solve.”

“Being named to the MSPs to Watch list validates the direction we’ve been building toward since day one,” said Mike Gribble, CRO of Refoundry. “We made a deliberate bet on AI not only as a way to more effectively serve clients but more importantly enable them to harness AI as an operating partner at scale. This recognition is a reflection of our team’s expertise and the trust our clients place in us.”

This recognition provides meaningful differentiation in a competitive market, highlighting organizations that are addressing today’s most pressing technology challenges and opportunities with innovation and excellence.
