One of the people on the "short list" I wanted to speak with was the Co-Founder and CEO of Pendo, Todd Olson, and was thrilled when he accepted my invitation. Todd lives right in my backyard in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina and I have been an admirer of Pendo for many years. Todd and I have some mutual connections but we've never had the opportunity officially meet before. I was interested to understand how he came to be a Co-Founder of Pendo, how they've scaled, and what lessons he learned early in life that has propelled him to this success.
