In today's episode, Derick Schaefer, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Trintech joins me to talk about Trintech's mission to take the drudgery out of accounting, making it faster, more efficient and more human. We also talk about why the best kind of innovation comes from customers.

Schaefer has spent over 25 years in a variety of software leadership roles, including the last ten years running large scale SaaS and PaaS operations.
