This week’s Huddle “Insights” podcast features a conversation with arguably the most influential IT leader in Atlantic Canada: Gerry Pond.
Pond chats with co-host David Campbell about his career starting out in the mid-1960s at NBTel dealing with “party line” complaints in rural New Brunswick rising to CEO of Aliant and then nearly two decades of founding and investing in IT startups across Atlantic Canada, including Radian6 and Q1 Labs.
He weighs in on everything from the pipeline for tech entrepreneurs in the region; the role of government to help encourage tech startups; and why he is bullish on the ocean technology cluster.
