Company Co-Founder Josh Lospinoso Remains Involved as Founder and Board Member

ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shift5, the Operational Intelligence platform for America’s defense and transportation systems, today announced the appointment of Toby Magsig as president and interim CEO, assuming full responsibility for company strategy, operations, and execution. Magsig joins Shift5 from L3Harris Technologies, where he served as vice president and general manager of Enterprise Autonomous Solutions, bringing extensive experience in emerging technologies, defense acquisition, and enterprise growth.

As part of this transition, Shift5 Co-Founder Josh Lospinoso will transition out of day-to-day operational leadership and remain involved as founder and board member, focused on long-term vision, major product initiatives, and key strategic engagements.

“Building Shift5 from the ground up has been the defining work of my career,” said Josh Lospinoso, Shift5 founder and board member. “What has always mattered most to me is solving real problems for operators and maintainers – problems where failure isn’t an option. This transition lets me stay focused on long-term vision and the hardest product challenges, while Toby brings the operational leadership we need to scale with rigor. He’s exactly the right leader for where the company is headed.”

Prior to joining Shift5, Magsig served as vice president and general manager of Enterprise Autonomous Solutions at L3Harris Technologies, where he led a new business unit focused on autonomous systems, launching product lines including AMORPHOUS software and DiamondBack autonomous vehicles. He also founded the LHXelerator to integrate commercial and non-traditional defense capabilities into L3Harris products, notching multiple successes. During his 26-year Army career, Magsig commanded the Joint Modernization Command at Army Futures Command, where he integrated over 110 future technologies across all five armed services, embraced agile development models, and led the Army’s largest annual experiments. He also commanded a 4,500-member Airborne Infantry Brigade and deployed to combat twelve times across Iraq and Afghanistan.

“What Shift5 has developed is exactly what our warfighters and operators need – real-time visibility into the systems they depend on,” said Toby Magsig, Shift5 president and interim CEO. “The demand for Operational Intelligence across defense and transportation is accelerating, and Shift5 is uniquely positioned to meet it. I’m excited to join the Shift5 team to ensure we’re delivering for operators and maintainers, at the pace and scale the mission requires.”

This transition comes as Shift5 builds on significant momentum. The company recently closed its $75M Series C funding round led by Hedosophia, secured key contracts on critical platforms such as the F-16, and introduced next-generation capabilities to include its advanced RF-enabled GPS detection.

Ret. Gen. Rich Clarke, Shift5 chairman of the board and former SOCOM commander, emphasized the strategic nature of this transition: “Josh built Shift5 into a defense imperative, establishing the technical foundation that protects our fleets today. Toby Magsig is a proven combat leader who knows what it takes to drive high-performance teams in the most demanding environments on earth. As we pivot to mass-scale deployment, Toby is the force multiplier we need. He brings a commander’s mindset to our operations, ensuring absolute accountability and precision in execution. This structure unleashes Josh to push the technical horizon while Toby drives the operational velocity required to capture the market.”

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
