Icertis' mission includes fostering workplace understanding and support for veterans.

For many veterans, the journey home is just the beginning of another battle—one that involves finding purpose, connection, and opportunity in civilian life. The transition from military service to the corporate world is often filled with unseen barriers, from translating service roles into civilian job language to navigating workplace cultures that don't always understand the depth of military experience. Recognizing this, organizations like Icertis are building bridges with veteran-led initiatives that foster understanding and support within the workplace. One such effort is "Boots on the Ground," an Employee Resource Group created not only to uplift veterans but also to educate and align civilian colleagues in shared purpose. As Memorial Day approaches, it's a powerful reminder that the freedoms we enjoy come at a profound cost—paid by individuals who committed their lives to defending the Constitution. Honoring their legacy isn't just about remembrance, but also about ensuring that their brothers and sisters in arms have the tools they need to thrive after service. To understand the heart behind this mission, we turn to James Collins, General Manager of Healthcare, Life Sciences & FS, and a proud advocate leading the Boots on the Ground ERG at Icertis.
