Ep67. Forrit - Peter Proud
Update: 2025-08-13
Description
In this episode of Edinburgh Business Stories, we’re joined by Peter Proud, Founder and CEO of Forrit, a company quietly powering some of the world’s most secure and scalable digital platforms.
Peter takes us through a career that’s anything but ordinary: from his time at Microsoft to launching Forrit, building not just a product, but a company rooted in strong values, technical excellence, and a genuine culture of care. He talks about the importance of leadership through inspiration, why culture always comes before product, and how he’s helping create opportunities for the next generation through apprenticeships.
If you’re scaling a tech company, leading a team, or thinking about how to build something that lasts, this is a must-watch.
