Summary

Craig Walker's career in entrepreneurship began with a securities attorney background, advising startups during the dot-com bubble burst. In 2001, he joined Dialpad and turned it around using "depression-era" tactics to focus on product development rather than marketing expenses. He founded UberConference and later Google Voice, which showcased his passion for communications technology. Walker believes that every person on the planet is a consumer in this field, offering opportunities for improvement. He's now focused on helping software-centric entrepreneurs leverage WebRTC technology to revolutionize communication, moving away from legacy telecom approaches.
