Fred Bender has been a Pyramid Club member for over 15 years and a technologist since the 90s. As CTO of StirData, he specializes in the projects other vendors couldn't finish complex healthcare data systems, custom development for large-scale organizations, and some of the messiest IT problems in the mid-Atlantic.
In this episode, Fred and Vince break down how technology touches everything but rarely gets the credit it deserves. Fred shares what actually goes wrong with data (hint: you probably haven't tested your backups), how ransomware is changing who gets targeted, and what you learn about an industry when a client never leaves. They also get into what it means to collect expertise the way some people collect stamps — from healthcare and M&A to water coolers and fencing academies.
Fred is one of those guests who can explain deeply technical concepts without ever losing the room. And yes, there are three kinds of fencing. He knows all of them.
