Cloudsmith has raised $123m to date, a record for a Northern Ireland start-up. Its co-founder Alan Carson talks about scaling a global B2B software company from the region, and why others can do it too.
Hosts Christina Richmond and Rory Duncan are joined this week by Glenn Weinstein, CEO of Cloudsmith to discuss building high-performing company cultures, navigating software supply chain risks, and securing modern development workflows. To counter machine-speed AI threats, Glenn proposes that organizations must embed automated “don’t make me think” security guardrails directly into workflows so developers don’t expend cognitive energy on manual vulnerability checks. Much like sports team management taking care of logistics so athletes can focus on competing, leadership should automate background security tasks to free developers to concentrate on solving core customer problems.
