Schmode is Back, Aims To Turn Boulder AI Into Giant
One of the most influential and controversial executives in the past decade is back. Bryan Schmode ascended and drove the hypergrowth of Avigilon in the first half of the decade. After 4 years of 'relaxing', he is now back, becoming CEO of Boulder AI.
Based on IPVM's interview with Schmode and Boulder AI founder Darren Odom, we examine their ambitious plans.
