Reed was Obama's CTO for the 2012 re-election campaign, charged with overseeing the President's digital strategy and constructing a huge software program that could distribute information about Democrat voters to the network of volunteers on the ground. It was a huge success. In 2015 he said “Talking s*** online is going to be big in the 2016 election”. We all know what happened and who won. Harper is an engineer who builds paradigm-shifting technology and leads others to do the same. He loves using the vastness of the Internet to bring people together, whether as CTO of Obama for America, CTO for Threadless.com, his own projects or helping define the future of commerce at PayPal.
