Bridging The Bureaucratic Divide with Ben Renda

Ben Renda is the Chief Operating Officer of Google Fi, a new kind of cell phone service that automatically switches between multiple networks to give you the best service anywhere in the United States.
Prior to working for Google, Ben spent over a decade serving in the military, where he identified a number of pain points for integrating new technology into the armed forces. Now, Ben serves as a bridge between Washington, the Pentagon, and Silicon Valley - taking what he’s learned from both worlds to help the other function better.
In this interview, Ben, Chad, and Ian discuss how to overcome issues of bureaucracy, the lessons Ben learned from his time in the military, and how to build a team you can rely on.
