Hi, my name is Chad Arimura.
I am a husband, father of 3, follower of Christ, boss of a few dogs, and commander-in-chief to 15-20 chickens. I am also a 3x entrepreneur, most recently co-founder and CEO of Iron.io where we grew a multi-million dollar business pioneering serverless computing. We sold the company in 2017 and joined Oracle.
And now, as mentioned in my "thanks and onward" post, for the first time in 20 years, I'm a free agent without a destination! We live in a wild, exciting, and somewhat scary time with the rapid pace of change. I'll be building, exploring, and talking to folks at companies of all stages thinking about what's next.
You can contact me on LinkedIn, X, or [email protected].
