@arctictony is the CEO of Filament, a stealth company that is doing that thing you've always wanted someone to do. Previously he was on the global leadership team at Twitter where he led the Horizon 3 product org until about an hour after meeting Elon. He has been the Founding CEO of two exited companies, Chartbeat and Scroll, has sailed around the world, stood at the North Pole and performed Aida in Venice. In his spare time he has smuggled explosives into Russia, people through middle eastern roadblocks and meat into Canada. The last one was the hardest. In a recent conversation, one of our co-founders, Toby Daniels asked Tony what has been the biggest technology related lesson from the past that we are completely ignoring about where we are today? His response:  “That we shouldn’t equate British accents with intelligence” As a brit, Toby concurs.
