Lee Blakemore: Navigating Global SaaS Growth and Education Equality

Lee Blakemore is CEO of Introhive, the award winning, global technology company who's Customer Intelligence Platform is the fastest growing B2B revenue acceleration solution and a market leader in Sales Intelligence and Data Quality Management. In our conversation, we delved deep into the intricacies of running a tech firm with footprints in multiple English-speaking countries, the evolution from startup to maturity, and the fascinating intersection of technology's role in times of economic prosperity and adversity. 

This growth journey isn't just about numbers but navigating the challenges of both translation and localization in the tech world. As Lee aptly points out, "there's translation and then there's localization. There are two different topics when it comes to technology."

Lee's passion doesn't end at technology. On a personal note, he champions education equality in the US, especially focusing on bridging the academic achievement gap in inner cities. Reflecting on his work with educational organizations, Lee believes that "the effects of education or lack of education... can have a significant impact on their ability to become successful adults." His dedication to this cause is evident when he states, "if we were able to address that or move the needle just a little bit in that area, the outcomes and the impact on our society as a whole would be phenomenal."

From insights on running a globally expanding tech company to the importance of equal educational opportunities, this episode is packed with wisdom and inspiration.
