Gordon Pitts On The ‘Code-fathers’ And The Billion-Dollar Sales Of Q1 Labs And Radian6

Huddle Presents: Home Office

Fifteen years ago, journalist and author Gordon Pitts wrote “The Codfathers”, a book about regional business tycoons like the Irvings, McCains and Sobeys. He’s back now with “Unicorn in the Woods”, a book about the region’s tech titans. The story revolves around the creation and eventual sale of cybersecurity firm Q1 Labs and social media monitoring company Radian6. Gordon joins Mark Leger to talk about his page-turner, a compelling story about the founders, and how they grew globally competitive companies out of Saint John and Fredericton and influenced a generation of tech entrepreneurs across the Atlantic region.
