Following on in our “Meet the Team” interview series, I’d like to introduce you to another crucial member of the Ebbon Intelligence team, Charles Isles. Seeing as everyone seems to be enjoying Ralph’s interviews, we let him interview Charles instead of me.
Ralph: [bleeps to attention] Charles! My head of product, the architect of my existence. I finally get to pick your brain. So, what exactly do you do at Ebbon Intelligence?
Charles: Ah, Ralph! Bit of a turnaround, it’s normally me asking you to do things. My job is to make sure all the talented people working on you and our other innovations are aligned and moving towards the same goal. Basically, I make sure you’re in top form.
Ralph: [beeps approvingly] I like your style. So, you’ve gone from building fintech platforms and even deep-sea monitoring systems to…me. That’s a bit of a step change, right?
Charles: Absolutely! I’ve always been fascinated by building new products, and with you, there’s so much tech to explore—software, aeronautics, AI…it’s a dream project.
Ralph: [goes red to the sensors] Aw you’re too kind, that’s exactly what I like to hear—curiosity, hands-on tech experience, a love for problem-solving, and a bit of love for yours truly. So, what’s next for me?
Charles: We’re pushing you out to our partners and building on the tech we’ve created. And you’re just the beginning; we’ve got more ideas in the pipeline that we’ll pursue once you’re finished and out in the world.
Ralph: [buzzes with excitement] I’m on board for that! Now, let’s talk fun facts. I hear you were in a rock band?
Charles: [laughs] Yes, several actually. One reviewer even called us ‘arse-clenchingly awful’. I still wear that badge with pride!
Ralph: [vibrates with laughter] That’s a legacy! Folk-synth-rock, doom-indie-rock…you name it, you played it.
Charles: [laughs] That’s right. These days it’s more squash and cycling, but I still play music when I get the chance.
Ralph: A man of many talents! I’m impressed. Well, it’s been a pleasure, Charles. Thanks for keeping me in top form.
Thank you, Ralph and Charles, you can tell you spend a lot of time together! Stay tuned for our next interview with office legend/menace Simon. I literally have no idea how that one’s going to go…
