M Corp Rebrands as 11:59 to Relaunch Firm as Digital Transformation Powerhouse

Date:

Focused on The Art of the Possible, New Executives Join the Firm

SACRAMENTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Inspired by a new strategic vision and two decades of client success stories, M Corp has rebranded as 11:59 as the Sacramento-based firm brings on key executives focused on digital transformation for client organizations. Co-founded by Alex Castro and Chuck Czajkowski, the firm is shifting focus away from the traditional consulting model in a way that helps forward-thinking public and commercial sector clients unlock their full potential. Thomas Beyer, a former Deloitte Partner and KPMG’s Global Head of Digital Transformation, now serves as President and Chief Operating Officer leading the transition, including expanding the leadership team and service offerings, and the launch of an innovation lab.

“At 11:59, our vision and mission are to advise our clients on The Art of the Possible in digital transformation,” said Co-Founder and CEO Alex Castro. “Our new brand reflects our commitment to helping organizations bring the future into focus by leveraging today’s technologies with a firm grasp on the ever-changing landscape. We are perpetually a moment away from what’s next, which requires imagination and discipline, a position that helps our clients thrive.”

“We are excited to announce our dynamic leadership team that will take the firm to the next level,” Castro continued.

Since November, as part of its evolution and rebranding initiative, the firm has hired several new executives from top consulting firms that all share a common vision of focusing on helping clients reach their true potential by leveraging the Art of the Possible in digital transformation. This will create a path to meaningful modernization for forward-looking public agencies and companies. (See profiles below.)

“There are so many digital capabilities available today, but too many digital transformation efforts remain untouched by what is the Art of the Possible. Capabilities like cognitive services are ready for prime time and yet, many clients continue to implement decade-old technologies,” said 11:59 President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Beyer. “We want to stay true to what’s possible today and focus on the application of modern digital capabilities for our clients while employing an agile talent model that embraces the technologies of today and tomorrow.”

With a special emphasis on artificial intelligence, intelligent automation, and the rapid emergence of Web3, the transformation includes plans for an innovation lab, called 11:59 Labs, to focus on emerging technologies that show promise for enabling significant disruption across industries and businesses.

“Many marvel at new technology but can’t figure out what to do with it. Applying available digital capabilities requires creative minds, an appreciation for disruption, and a desire to design new business models. It takes more than masses of developers and process modelers to get the most out of today’s digital advancements. Our curiosity is the fuel that drives us to generate the biggest impact possible for our clients,” Beyer continued.

The philosophy behind the company’s transformation arises from its 20-year history of working with public and commercial sector clients in California and across the nation. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to help organizations modernize and prepare for the future, 11:59 advises clients on their true potential, despite today’s inherent difficulty in keeping up with new emerging trends and digital platforms.

“We are building on a strong foundation that our clients have grown to trust and depend upon in the most adverse of circumstances,” said Co-Founder Chuck Czajkowski. “More than ever, we are prepared to help our existing clients achieve success in new ways with cutting-edge technologies.”

“Our team of experienced leaders brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, working together to guide our organization towards its goals while helping our clients achieve their own,” Czajkowski continued.

Over the years, the firm has worked on mission-critical projects for agencies supporting programs in public health, unemployment services, and natural resources, among others. Originally launched in 2003, it has earned a reputation as a reliable partner and respected company in California and across the nation. The firm currently employs more than 100 team members located across the U.S.
