In this episode of Zero to CEO, I speak with Paula Paul, Founder and Distinguished Engineer at Greyshore, about how companies can drive real value from open source software. With over four decades of experience in tech, Paula shares insights on open source supply chain security, the power of community, and how organizations can adopt cloud-native technologies more efficiently. We also explore the shift from “every company is a tech company” to “every company is a SaaS company,” and Paula reflects on her remarkable journey as a woman in tech since the 1980s. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in software innovation, digital transformation, and the future of technology.
What happens when four decades of hands-on engineering experience meet today's fast-moving AI and open-source ecosystem? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Paula Paul, Founder and Distinguished Engineer at Greyshore, to explore that intersection. Paula began her tech career in the early 1980s writing code for IBM mainframes and has since become a trusted voice in enterprise modernization, cloud adoption, and open-source governance. Today, she advises organizations on how to build with confidence in an era defined by complex software supply chains, generative AI, and evolving SaaS models. We recorded this conversation during a time when many organizations are feeling the pressure to adopt AI and modernize legacy systems, but struggle with where to begin. Paula offers grounded insights on how to break down replatforming into value-driven streams and why a “big bang” transformation approach is often more risk than reward. She also talks about the critical role of open source in business today—not just from a tooling standpoint, but in terms of responsibility, transparency, and community. Paula's perspective is refreshingly practical. She believes AI is a natural evolution of decades of computing and storage expansion but urges companies to start with targeted experiments and thoughtful team collaboration. She also shares her experiences as a woman in tech since the 1980s, reflecting on what's changed and what hasn't and how leadership dynamics continue to shape opportunities for women in the industry. Beyond the code, Paula draws a fascinating parallel between music and technology. As a board member of the Brookline Music School and an oboe and English horn student, she explores how musical thinking can enhance software development's rhythm, structure, and leadership. If you're navigating modernization, curious about AI's role in development, or wondering how to make open source work for your organization—technically and strategically—this episode has something for you. How are you balancing technical ambition with long-term value? Let's continue the conversation.

The Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) provides a new approach to cybersecurity, and outlines a great model for developers to follow. Like the name implies, you should trust no one, at least initially, and assume that all networks and traffic are potential threats. We know that no network is ever 100% secure, but beginning with this assumption gives you the safest starting point and should reduce the risk of data breaches. ZTA is based on the principle of “least privilege,” which means that users and devices are only granted the permissions they need to perform their specific tasks. To help explain what this means, I spoke to Steve Hanna, a Distinguished Engineer from Infineon Technologies on this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

Kelsey Hightower is a legend. He regularly gives live software demos in front of tens of thousands of people, improvising them like it's jazz. He's a master storyteller and a master craftsman. He helped evangelize and establish Kubernetes and recently retired (at 42!) from Google where he was a distinguished engineer. Kelsey loves to level people up and in this conversation we discuss the power of innovation that happens after going from Zero to One. Or, as Kelsey puts it, “From Hello, World to Hello, Revenue” — and why those boring innovations show true grit and craftsmanship. We also discuss the art of the demo, how Kelsey engages crowds with his humanity, and how you can, too. And Kelsey shares what he's learned in his first year of retirement. He's actually quite busy and has to remind folks that “I'm retired; not tired.” He's fixing up his house, making time for others, and “learning how to live.” We get into what that means… This episode is very special. Enjoy!Key Moments:[03:06] “I'm retired; not tired.” – What Kelsey's been up to in his first year off the job — and why he refuses to mount his TV over the fireplace[04:51] “How do the makers mature?” — Kelsey's thoughts on how developers can advance their careers by getting good at innovating after, sometimes long after, going from zero to one[08:53] Keeping an open mindset: how developers integrate new technologies, e.g. Docker [17:13] “Creating good software is very emotional”[20:40] The art of the live demo[25:39] Humans are natural storytellers – embrace it! [27:31] Vulnerability and how Kelsey learned to be so confident on stage[30:38] The time Kelsey nearly bombed on stage, but turned it around into an “extra dope” moment on stage at a Google keynote[36:15] “A lot of people don't realize how much power they have until way later in life” – why even the really little things (like saying hello to a stranger) matter[39:28] Representation matters: being a black man in tech[42:15] The power of open source[45:04] “What is my actual impact on society?” — why Kelsey retired: [47:46] Kelsey's hopes for the future — and why we should be more excited about human intelligence, not just artificial intelligence***CRAFTED. is brought to you in partnership with Docker, which helps developers build, share, run and verify applications anywhere – without environment confirmation or management.
