About Me

I’m Rich Edwards. I’ve spent my career in the “can’t fail” parts of tech: platforms, data, and systems that have to be secure, reliable, and actually adopted by real operators. I’ve led product at IBM (Watson and System z) and later led Mindspan Systems and turning it into a high-trust data and automation partner for regulated customers.

Credentials-wise: engineering degree from RPI, MBA from UNC Kenan-Flagler, and a few earlier chapters in the U.S. Army and fiber optics.

At home I’m a husband to Kelli and a dad of two. Off-hours: cars, and a temperamental Italian motorcycle that keeps me humble.
