n^ Reference Group featuring Harry O'Connell of Canary Speech & Bradden Blair of OTI

​Join Canary Speech co-founder and CEO Henry O’Connell and Open Technology Incubator founder Bradden Blair for a candid conversation about what it takes to turn breakthrough science into a consequential, rapidly scaling company. Henry will share how his decades of leadership in healthcare and technology converged with the extraordinary vision of his late co-founder and close friend, Jeff Adams (a pioneering speech technologist who founded Amazon’s Alexa Speech Group) to create Canary Speech and unlock the power of voice as a source of meaningful health insight.

​Bradden will offer a parallel entrepreneur’s perspective, including his acquisition of Cobalt Speech & Language, founded by Jeff and now a key commercialization partner for Canary.

​Together, they will explore friendship, invention, loss, persistence, and the difficult work of moving a world-changing idea from technological possibility to market adoption.

​Canary Speech is building a business that is now doubling every quarter - it's a fascinating story for all!
