ABOUT HARPER REED
Hailed as a "digital wizard" and a pioneer of the tech universe, Harper Reed is an engineer who builds paradigm-shifting technology and leads others to do the same.
He served as CTO of Threadless.com and as a consultant to various other startups before he was hired by the Obama Campaign, where, as Chief Technology Officer, he lead a "dream team" of engineers from companies like Facebook, Google, and Twitter.
Harper was the man responsible for engineering what is widely viewed as the most sophisticated technological effort in the history of politics.
From 2005 to 2009, Harper was the CTO of Chicago-based clothing company Threadless.com, one of the first successful crowdsourcing companies, and helped increase revenue tenfold during that period. From 2009 to 2012 Reed consulted for companies like Rackspace, an innovative cloud-based website host, and Sandbox Industries, a forward-thinking venture capital company which funds hundreds of tech projects in their early stages and then launches the best few. Harper has also developed a number of community based apps in Chicago, where he lives.
