About Charles Fry
Charles Fry, who also goes by Carlos Fry, is the CEO and Chief Bottle Washer at Code Éxitos, a near-shore product design and development company. In September 2023, he appeared on the podcast "Entrepreneur's Enigma," where he described the company's public mission as increasing the capacity of digital entrepreneurs and digital creators throughout the Americas. He stated that the team has over 100 staff members, and closer to 150 when including contractors, all of whom are bilingual in English and Spanish. Fry said the company is a B Corporation and that its founding DNA included a goal to "regenerate a little more social benefit in the world." He also noted that the team engages in internal education and community outreach, including speaking at universities. In September 2022, Fry appeared on ibble Studios, where he discussed his approach to entrepreneurship and management. He described his "sweet spot" as building companies from zero to $100 million in revenue, and said he uses three universal management tools: "know the focus, spread the message, keep the faith." He advised that entrepreneurs should expect to get knocked down and must determine to get back up. Fry also recounted that in 2022 he decided to increase his pricing by four times, finding that his previous customers were not the right fit, and instead chose to find customers willing to pay the new price. Earlier material from 2020, attributed to COL Charles H. Fry, describes his use of a spectrum analysis based on Jenkins' five stages of insurgency to classify the security stages of countries in Latin America while serving as a commander.
