In this episode of Now That’s IT: Stories of MSP Success, we sit down with Vinod Paul, COO of Align Technologies, to explore how a bold decision to focus exclusively on one vertical—financial services—transformed the company from a solid MSP into a global leader.

Vinod shares the behind-the-scenes story of walking away from millions in revenue, standardizing their tech stack, and saying no to clients who didn’t fit—all in pursuit of scalable, high-value growth. The result? Align grew from 75 to 300 employees, expanded into 31 countries, and became a trusted name in one of the most demanding industries in the world.

If you're an MSP leader grappling with growth, client fit, or the pressure to do it all, this conversation is packed with real-world strategies, lessons in verticalization, and insights on scaling without compromise.
