Business
In this episode, Craig Budner interviews Anna Tichborne, General Counsel of Megaport. Megaport was founded in Australia by industry expert and entrepreneur Bevan Slattery, who aimed to create a platform that gave customers access to elastic interconnection services. Slattery wanted customers to have greater simplicity, control, and choice over how they connected to and between the services, applications, providers, and networks they needed for their businesses. Their mission is to take everything we know about traditional networking – flip it and reverse it – and put the power back into the hands of the consumer. Their product offers consumers network connectivity with global availability, right-sized bandwidth, and on-demand consumption.
