Google Canada: Chris O'Neill

Chris O'Neill: Google Canada's managing director Chris O'Neill argued that Canadian businesses need to be less timid, embrace risk and experiment earlier with web technologies, according to CTV. "The greatest gift of the web and cloud computing, in my humble opinion, is the ability to be proven wrong faster. It's so much lower risk to take a bet on the web and then learn what works and what doesn't." TORONTO -- A panel of technology heavyweights gathered in Toronto to talk about innovation in the country and how Canada could be primed to attract the world's best talent and grow its tech hubs. "Canadians, I like to say, like to be first to be second. So our mission is to get them over that hurdle," O'Neill said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
