Dropcam Top

Movements again in the ranks of Apple, and this time they are not engineers who leave the apple company to start working on the almighty brand of electric vehicles, Tesla Motors. He is a high-profile talent, co-founder and former CEO of Dropcam. His name is Greg Duffy.

Dropcam, founded in 2009 by Greg Duffy and by Virani Love, grew rapidly in popularity thanks to its cheap home cameras connected to Wi-FI networks, allowing their owners the remote connection to their homes to be able to see in real time different parts of their own houses.

The company was bought by Google in the years 2014 and since then it is Tony Fadell, co-founder of Nest and former Apple worker who leads the team that Greg created.

The moment Dropcam started to belong to GoogleDuffy said he was convinced it was the best for his company. Admired Tony Fadell and he knew that he was the ideal person to lead his project. However, the relationship between these two businessmen was not very fruitful, and once they left the company, Greg refers to Fadell as a "Bureaucrat tyrant".

Now Duffy prepares to work in Cupertino, there where Tony Fadell he made a name for himself by being the "godfather" of the iPod, just before the creation of the iPhone. Some of us still remember the relevance that it had in the revolution at the beginning of the century that Apple starred in with all its new devices.

As an anecdote, cite that Tony Fadell recently announced that he will be leaving the company he currently belongs to, Google. It seems that he is not very happy since the union of this with the rest of the companies that today make up A.

Apple has confirmed the hiring of Duffy at its headquarters in Cupertino, California, but He has not revealed what his new role will be. The most reliable sources place their presence in the North American company to lead a special project of which we still have no knowledge.
