The Modern Tech POV with Dan Keyworth

In this episode of The Modern Tech POV, Dennis Woodside, CEO at Freshworks, sits down with Dan Keyworth, Executive Director of Performance Technology and Systems at McLaren Racing, the reigning Formula One Constructors' Champions.

McLaren runs one of the most demanding technology operations in the world. 26 race weekends a year. A new network built from scratch at every circuit. 100,000 telemetry parameters per second. And zero margin for error.

But the real lesson isn't about speed, it's about simplicity.

In this episode you'll gain insight on:

How McLaren builds and tears down a full IT operation 26+ times a year and what "comms check" means when everything has to work before the cars even drop

Turning 100,000 data points per second into real-time decisions across the garage, pit wall, and mission control simultaneously

Why McLaren doesn't have a "fail fast" culture but rather a "learn fast" culture, and the difference between the two

How AI is showing up at the track as an accelerator for human performance, not a replacement for it

The one question Dan says every enterprise IT leader should be able to answer: what is your win?

The same principles that power a Formula One championship — reliability, clarity, and relentless iteration — are the ones driving the best IT organizations across every industry.
