A truly unique UK tech story with Raspberry Pi’s Eben Upton

The Brands Transforming Our World podcast

Welcome to the fourth episode of our podcast series, “Brands Transforming Our World“, where we give a platform for the tech C-Suite to tell their stories.

In this month’s conversation, Brands2Life Co-Founder, Giles Fraser, and former BBC Tech Correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones, meet with Eben Upton CBE, CEO at Raspberry Pi.

Eben is a computer scientist and engineer and co-founded the Raspberry Pi Foundation in 2008, aiming to inspire a new generation of learners to engage with programming and electronics. Designing single board and modular computers since 2012, Raspberry Pi is a genuine UK success story and the biggest – and in our eyes, the most exciting – listing on the London Stock Exchange this year.

Under Eben’s leadership, Raspberry Pi has grown into one of the world’s most popular computing platforms, with widespread applications ranging from education to industrial automation. To date, it’s sold over 60 million computers.

In this episode, Eben discusses:

Building a UK technology trailblazer with such a clear mission at its heart
The inside story on the run up to going public and what really happens on IPO day
The importance of fostering creativity and problem-solving in education
The role of technology in driving social change

Each month, Giles Fraser and Rory will quiz a different tech industry leader. We’ll be hearing their personal stories, what it takes to run the world’s most innovative companies, and how these brands are transforming our world.
