Summary
Frank Livaudais, senior VP of engineering at Automox, makes the case for shipping in short cycles. He tells host Maddie Regis that nine one-month projects beat one nine-month project. Customer needs and market conditions change faster than any annual plan, so teams that stay flexible can pivot instead of missing the mark. Frank traces his path from writing assembly code for modems in the mid-1990s to leading engineering at multi-billion-dollar public companies, and he describes Automox's current focus as execution and release predictability now that the product has market fit. Off the clock, he has run 257 marathons or longer, including one in every US state.
