Software Development with/and AI with Larkin Lowrey

Our guest is Mr Larkin Lowrey (https://www.linkedin.com/in/larkinlowrey/). Mr Lowrey has spent the past 30 years in the Software Engineering Product Development space building new product development organizations but also turning around organizations which had fallen into traps resulting in poor quality, execution and products which did not resonate in the marketplace. Most of his career has been in IoT and, notably, he built a telematics platform that was sold to Verizon and now operates as Verizon Networkfleet. Recently he moved into MedTech. He states that there is a lot of overlap between these areas given how medical devices, sensors increasingly make heavy use of cloud analytics platforms. This interview was recorded on Dec
7, 2023.
