Our Start

Blue Forge Digital began as a joint venture. From day one, James McGreggor and Dr. Natalie Morse set out to pair empathy with innovation—helping organizations make smarter, more human-centered choices about technology and the services they provide.

The spark started with James. After decades in enterprise IT and software consulting, he saw that lasting success comes from investing in people and the systems that shape their work. Ready to help businesses grow in an AI-forward, increasingly complex world, he began shaping what would become Blue Forge Digital.

 

At the same time, James reconnected with Natalie, a former BMW colleague: a seasoned data science and environmental expert, trained researcher, and proven entrepreneur. While leading a PhD admissions consulting practice, she was seeking a partnership that would let her apply her technical capabilities at greater scale. A casual conversation became a meeting of minds.
