No one can succeed so greatly in business without understanding people, and unfortunately for so many in technology, it is one or the other: A tech wiz who doesn't truly understand user work-flow or how to sell, or a sales or PR guru who couldn't build, let alone explain, the technology. Often companies hire at least one of each and pray they get along. At Cranium Computing, we fit them neatly into one package.
