Harper Reed

Harper is an engineer who builds paradigm-shifting technology and leads others to do the same. He loves using the vastness of the Internet to bring people together, whether as CTO of Obama for America, CTO at Threadless.com, or as CEO of his own company Modest, Inc (acquired by PayPal). He is currently thinking a lot about the future and how we can make sure we don’t all die.

You can often find him playing with new technology, hacking his own projects, or enjoying life in Chicago with his amazing partner, Hiromi and their bizarre poodle, Lulu.
