In this C-Suite Brief feature, Erick Watson discusses his transition from leadership roles at Google and Microsoft to co-founding Randamu, a Web3 infrastructure company pioneering secure bridgeless multi-chain interoperability through threshold cryptography.
Watson explains why he left Big Tech to pursue decentralized infrastructure, noting that “the most important problems won’t be solved within the walls of large corporations which can’t effectively pivot due to their own inertia.” The interview covers Randamu’s core technology, which coordinates actions across blockchains without vulnerable bridge intermediaries, and the company’s vision for digital trust in an increasingly multi-chain world.
The conversation touches on Watson’s 15+ years of experience in product strategy, his work stewarding the drand protocol and the League of Entropy, and how Randamu’s approach to threshold cryptography differs from traditional cross-chain solutions.
