Charles Towers-Clark is the Founder and CEO of Pod Group, a provider of connectivity and
billing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) established in 1999. A true entrepreneur and
relentless innovator, Charles has focused on structuring Pod Group to ensure that all
employees are involved in driving strategy and direction. His unique methodology, described in
his book “The W.E.I.R.D CEO” is based on a flat hierarchy whereby decision-making is pushed
down to individual employees, giving them more responsibility and autonomy over their work. In
a male-dominated sector, Charles is also pushing for gender equality with 50% women currently
employed across Pod Group’s six global offices (in the UK, Spain, the USA, Mexico, Nicaragua
and Hong Kong). Charles is a Forbes.com contributor and a regular speaker at industry events
on the future of work. He has been featured widely in the press discussing topics such as AI, the
future of tech and self-management in the digital age.
