« How SimpleGeo Co-Founder Grows Into Leadership Role - Joe Stump »

In Chapter 1 of 17 in his 2011 Capture Your Flag interview with host Erik Michielsen, Internet entrepreneur and SimpleGeo CTO Joe Stump shares what is getting easier and harder in his life. Personally, Stump finds his groove in his relationships and beliefs. Meeting many new people through work and travel, he adjusts to manage relationships better. Professionally, starting and managing a company gives him perspective on pressure previously unseen in his corporate roles. Stump transitions into a co-founder and board member role, contrasting it to being a normal employee or corporate executive. Stump is the co-founder and CTO at SimpleGeo (www.simplegeo.com), a San Francisco-based mobile location infrastructure services company. Previously Stump was Lead Architect at Digg. He programs in PHP, Python, Django and enjoys scaling websites. He earned a BBA in Computer Information Systems from Eastern Michigan University.
