Cameron Meyer
Director
Cameron Meyer
Director
As a director at CI, Cameron is responsible for working with the leadership team to execute the company’s vision. With an uncanny ability to understand and connect with people, Cameron also builds relationships with clients that transform projects and engagements. Drawing from both functional and technical expertise, he empowers clients to make intelligent decisions while supporting a positive working environment. Cameron appreciates the impact he can make at CI in comparison to larger firms, as well as the team-first ethos that defines the CI culture.
Cameron graduated from Georgia Southern University, where he received a BBA in computer information systems and a BBA in logistics and intermodal transportation. He started out his career working in the transportation and retail industries. Once bitten by the consulting bug, he worked for small and large consulting firms and owned his own business before joining CI. One of his favorite projects so far has involved helping a Fortune 100 company implement Azure Information Protection and Microsoft Cloud App Security. His team developed a business strategy, implemented the right technical solution, tested it across multiple devices and trained users globally. He even got his feet wet in show biz for the gig: the team brought in professional actors and kept the set quiet while filming training videos.
Outside of work, you can find Cameron dominating on the tennis court for, well, just about any local league—ALTA, T2, Ultimate and USTA included. Or, he’ll be cheering on (and coaching) his kids as they play soccer and tennis.
Finally, what do Cameron’s colleagues have to say about him?
“Let’s face it. Cameron isn’t just someone you work for. He’s a leader that you want to follow.”

He has especially enjoyed contributing to a SSO enablement project, as well as a migration of over 300 applications to Microsoft Azure, for which he developed his own solution using all open-source components, saving millions and accelerating the time-to-value with automation.
Outside of work, you can find Danny beaming with pride for his wife Sara and his two sons, Tyler and Austin. You’ll also find him tinkering with IC, robot design, programming and 3D printing—or getting out with his family to hike, fish and hunt every chance he can.

When he’s not reshaping the IT landscape, Mike devotes his time to animal welfare by working with Atlanta Boxer Rescue. He also loves to cook, try new bourbons, watch the Atlanta Braves—or geek out on something techie.
Ross Williams
Delivery Manager
Ross Williams
Delivery Manager
As a delivery manager, Ross motivates by example, seeing the big picture and removing obstacles for his clients before they turn into problems. In fact, in his view, the team at Collective Insights doesn’t just solve a client’s problems; they make them their own. Ross earned a bachelor’s degree in international business with a minor in economics at Georgia College, then worked at a large multinational consulting firm prior to joining the team at CI.
Ross’s biggest motivator? Making life simpler for clients. In his time at CI, he’s been able to help clients identify potential cost savings in the millions of dollars while also getting more out of their current investments. He has relished the opportunity to create valuable, high-quality solutions rather than checked SOW boxes.
When he’s not forging lasting partnerships with clients, Ross is embracing his roles as husband, father and cheerleader to his three kids, avid fisher, camper and hunter.
