Talking with... Stephen Beer, MD of Bridgeall
Manage episode 411709129 series 3567888
Following on from our fascinating chat with Dave Kerr in episode 8, we’re talking to another of the founding members of Bridgeall (another of the three ‘titans’, as host Michael Phair dubs them) – Stephen Beer, Managing Director.
As ever, you’ll hear all about Stephen’s own journey through the tech industry – from his undergraduate degree and PhD in Software Engineering, his work with Oracle and his consulting roles through the years of energy sector deregulation and millennium bugs. Stephen reflects on his time running SimplyReserve – a hotel booking system perhaps too far ahead of its time – and discusses how Bridgeall has coped with Covid.
Finally, Michael and Stephen talk about a few more personal thoughts and reflections, from what he’s reading to his ideal dinner party guests. All in all, it’s another fascinating episode. Let us know what you think, and tell us who you’d like to hear from next…
