In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Terence Bennett, CEO of DreamFactory.
Terence shares his unconventional journey from a military intelligence officer to leading a developer-focused API company. He explains how his entrepreneurial parents influenced his mindset and how his military background taught him to solve problems creatively. He also shares how dealing with dyslexia and joining a support group at Google helped him discover his strength in thinking outside the box.
Terence discusses his career pivot from cybersecurity to startup life, eventually landing at DreamFactory through his work with the parent company Xenon. He explains how DreamFactory’s way of handling APIs, by focusing on data models first, is different and works well, especially for older systems in places like the public sector. He also shares how working with the long-established company Saint-Gobain showed him how much people believe in DreamFactory.
Buckle up for a ride to the Golden State, where Terence shares how strong leadership, trust, and community fuel both personal growth and business success in this episode of The First Customer!
