S4E6: Bill Shihara

After a decade in security engineering, Bill Shihara co-founded the premier U.S.-based blockchain platform, Bittrex, in 2014. In this episode, Bill reflects on his time at Microsoft and Blackberry and the impact each of those companies have had on his career. He discusses the importance of recognizing when you’re no longer growing at a company, making security a priority from the start of building anything, and how thinking about culture shifts as you grow internally. You’ll also learn how Bittrex has evolved in the last five years, how innovation is at the core of its business foundation, and how they’re now making an impact internationally. Bill’s story on his start in cryptocurrency and the ‘happy accident’ that ultimately led him to become an entrepreneur is one to hear.
