At the time we recorded this episode Dan Wright was the President and COO at DataRobot, and was just last week named CEO of the company. Prior to joining DataRobot Dan was the COO (and before that the General Counsel) at AppDynamics. He also spent two and a half years at Goodwin Law Firm as a technology and venture capitalist lawyer.
In this episode I talk to Dan about how lawyers can get involved in the startup world, some of the mentors he leaned on when deciding next steps in his career, and the value of listening when you’re new to a company. He also shares about the importance of building great teams, the partnership dynamics between CEO and COO, and why he believes DataRobot and AI is changing the world.
I hope you enjoy the show.
