Now involved in leading eCommerce technology across 50 UK (and beyond ) household names, and a fan of Lex Fridman, and The Rest is History podcasts, Deri began with studying Electronics at Cambridge University, and early roles in semiconductor and fibre-optic systems, spending time in the Far East, as both Engineer and later product marketer. Deri moved to Canterbury in 1993 to head up the UK’s first ISP: spinning it off from the University of Kent computer lab. Companies were modem-dialling Canterbury for email and newsgroups. Yes, the UK Internet started in Canterbury not London – not a lot of people know that! Ask about the stories of the wild-west early years of the Internet, and the NHSnet and etc. Deri grew the organisation until acquisition from the USA, and then set up an internet security specialist, and grew the company to a 7 figure acquisition.
