Five Minutes With…Gordon Kruberg, President & CEO, Gumstix

August 11, 2015

Kruberg is the president of Gumstix, a company that specialized in development kits. They began delivering such kits way before it was in vogue to do so. I asked Kruberg why he thought this idea would take off, which it obviously has. And it was nice to hear that the company understands that it's all about the software. Secondly, Kruberg had the foresight to know that embedded Linux would be a winner. So that makes him two for two. Hear what else he's betting on.
