Welcome to the Second in Command Podcast, produced by the C.O. Alliance and brought to

its founder Cameron Herald.

In the second-in-command podcast, we talked to top COOs who share the insights, strategies,

and tactics that made them the chief behind the chief.

And now here's your host, Cameron Harold.

Our guest today is C.O.

Alliance member Derek Knorr, who is the COOO for Spirius.

Spirius is a tech startup located in Lincoln, Nebraska as part of the Silicon Prairie

and primarily plays in the web scraping space,

providing SAS sales of its web scraping services,

as well as product-based sales

for the underlying infrastructure

to other web scraping companies.

This allows the world to make use of the vast amount of open data on the web today.

Derek joined Sperius as C. O.

in late 2019. He's accountable for running the business operations and growing

both top and bottom line earnings.

Derek wears dual hats as head of sales and data analytics as well as a product owner for the main product line.

Prior to Superior, Derek grew through a variety of projects and roles over a decade with

Deloitte Consulting.

He focused on the U.S. Federal market and is one of the few people in the world to have worked

at a variety of intelligence community agencies before switching over to the civilian sector.
