Fried is an innovator, a trailblazer, and a movement-maker. He is the co-founder and CEO of 37signals, the creators of project management software Basecamp and email platform HEY.
He also co-wrote the New York Times bestselling book Rework, and pioneered the idea that four-day workweeks could actually drive productivity (“When there’s less time to work, you waste less time.”)
