Join “On The Record With Sarina Fazan” as we celebrate Forbes Magazine naming Tampa, Florida, as the top emerging tech city in the U.S.! Our city is making national headlines and we couldn’t be prouder to be among the ranks of Silicon Valley and Austin, Texas.

Tech in Tampa Bay is hot, thanks to the leaders and visionaries that drive innovation, curiosity, economic opportunity, and technological advances to the region. This episode features two of the top tech leaders in Tampa Bay, Linda Olson and Jim Eddy.

He is excited by the future of unstructured data in helping companies make smarter decisions. In the past year, Scion Analytics has added 22 jobs to the Tampa Bay area and continues to grow.
