So basically I don't have to do very much. We have tried to build a team of highly capable leaders who are able to "act like owners" and know what needs to be done to make their teams successful and we've tried to cascade the ownership idea through everything we do. I do our own internal IT and Information Security so all our internal people are also my customers, but the bulk of my time is spent on product. What type of CTO are you? I'm primarily responsible for everything related to the product/service that HireVue delivers to our external customers. Finally, I moved into HR Technology which has let me use my video knowledge with AI and machine learning.which is what I really planned to do in grad school but the AI Winter was in full force back then. I started out building network equipment, which was different from my PhD research, then moved to online video delivery. I have tended to switch areas of specialty fairly often. I started as a developer, before becoming team lead, then Director of Engineering, VP, and finally CTO. Did you take any detours? If so, discuss. I've never felt the need to get certifications.Įxplain your career path. before somehow a summer job at IBM turned into a permanent one and I never went back. What was your education? Do you hold any certifications? What are they? I did a Master's in Computer Science and was working on a Ph.D. It wasn't a very good program.ĭid you always want to work in IT? I remember at some point wanting to be a fireman, then a magician, but when my 5th grade teacher taught us to program I was pretty hooked. What was your first job? If I remember correctly, the first time I really made my own money was selling a spelling quiz program I wrote for the Atari 800 when I was in 6th grade.but mowing lawns ended up paying a lot better.
