Caroline Starr on Cybersecurity and Creative Tech Growth
from Kanawha Valley Hustlers Hosted by Joe Justice
In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustler I talk with Caroline Starr from KDE Technology, and she walks me through what they do and how she found her place there. She tells me they handle website development, marketing, graphic design and cybersecurity, and she explains why cybersecurity is growing as more people see digital threats in the news and want to protect their information. She describes their Hale Street space that serves as a business incubator and event venue, hosting everything from open mic nights to comedy shows. She explains that their websites are coded from scratch and hosted on their own servers, and she says they also manage SEO, Google Business Profiles and social media. She shares how she moved from seventeen years of teaching into cybersecurity after her students encouraged her to follow her passion. We talk about their managing partner Lee now working full time in the office and how helpful it is to have his expertise available throughout the day. When I ask her to pick her favorite part of the business, she picks cybersecurity because it connects to her passion.
