SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Replit, the agentic software creation platform used by builders in 85% of the Fortune 500 companies, today announced the expansion of its government business and the appointment of former U.S. Treasury diplomat and Amazon Web Services (AWS) executive Michael Greenwald as President of Corporate Affairs.

This builds on Replit’s enterprise business, which has been growing over the last 12 months.  Companies like Atlassian, Adobe, Visa and Databricks, among others, use Replit. Once Replit is used by a single department within an enterprise, the company sees its business double after six months and expand to 400% over 12 months.

Replit is seeing strong adoption of its platform across government agencies at the national, state and local levels in the U.S. and overseas, including the Middle East. Gartner projects that by 2028, at least 80% of governments will deploy AI agents to automate routine decisions.  Replit, which pioneered agents in 2024, is seen as a solution that allows employees to build and scale applications rapidly and securely.

To accelerate its expansion into the public sector, Replit has tapped Michael Greenwald to be President of Corporate Affairs. Greenwald brings more than two decades of experience across technology, finance, business and national security.

At AWS, he served as Director of Global Executive Relations, helping lead Amazon’s international business expansion and driving adoption of the company’s AI offerings by governments and institutions worldwide. Previously, he was Managing Director at AlTi Global and spent nearly a decade at the U.S. Treasury Department in senior policy and intelligence roles across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. As the first U.S. Treasury attaché to Qatar and Kuwait, he established the Treasury’s first offices in those nations and served as the principal senior U.S. financial diplomat to their banking sectors.

“We’re seeing more enterprises use Replit across their teams to securely and rapidly build and deploy apps, and now governments are doing the same,” said Amjad Masad, co-founder and CEO of Replit. “Michael has led at the highest levels of global public sector technology and national security, and that combination will help us bring this capability to more people and industries, unlocking innovation and economic opportunity on a global scale.”

“Replit empowers every American, and every global citizen, to be the architect of their own future,” said Greenwald. “I’m energized to join Replit because its mission is at the core of the American dream. Together, we can put this technology, built on a foundation of trust, safety, and security, to work for U.S. and global competitiveness.”

Jordan’s Ministry of Education and National Council for Future Technology used Replit to develop Siraj, an AI learning assistant that now reaches 1.3 million users across 5,800 schools. Replit is also working with HUMAIN, Saudi Arabia’s national AI company, to make Saudi Arabia the first country to put AI coding agents in the hands of every student. And last month, Replit opened its first international office in London with the support of Mayor Sadiq Khan.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
