My guest today is Caryn Seidman-Becker. Caryn is the Chairman and CEO of Clear. She bought the company personally out of bankruptcy for $6 million in 2010 and has built it into the identity platform millions use in airports and stadiums today. Her Wall Street background investing in Apple, Amazon and Priceline taught her to recognize when products become platforms, which shaped her vision for Clear as the definitive secure identity platform far beyond travel.
Caryn shares the gritty early days of literally hunting down hardware in airport storage facilities and rebuilding the entire business from scratch. She embodies an incredible bias for action. We discussed turning around the business, scaling a platform, and why she believes your face will soon be your key to everything. Please enjoy this incredible conversation with Caryn Seidman-Becker.
