New Episode: Fred Voccola: Betting on Miami | w/ Fred Menachem & Eugenio Robaina Reiter
Fred Voccola is not easily reduced to a title.
He doesn't decorate his thoughts.
He speaks in outcomes.
He is the Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of Kaseya, the Chairman and CEO of Simpro Group, an operator, a builder, and one of the clearest voices in Miami’s rise as a serious technology city.
But this conversation is not about AI and software.
It is about instinct. Work ethic. Immigrant roots. The difference between pedigree and performance. And why Miami keeps attracting people who are willing to bet on themselves before the world gives them permission.
Fred’s story starts far from the polished language of boardrooms. It starts with family. A mother defined by empathy. A father who believed technology should solve real problems. A working-class foundation that shaped the way he sees people, companies, risk, and success.
Then Miami happened.
He came here in 1992, felt the city’s rhythm, left the University of Miami, and never lost the feeling. Because Miami made sense to him. A city powered by immigrants, risk-takers, operators, and people who don’t wait to be chosen.
From there, Fred built company after company — scale, exit, repeat — including Kaseya, one of the companies that helped put Miami on the global technology map.
Now, through Simpro, he’s turning toward the trades: the operators, technicians, and working-class businesses that keep cities running but are too often left out of the technology conversation.
In this episode, Fred Voccola joins Fred Menachem and Eugenio Robaina Reiter for a conversation about Miami, ambition, business, AI, the American Dream, and why the future belongs to people who build without waiting to be chosen.
This is not a tech story.
It is a Miami story.
And the Fred Voccola you haven't truly seen.
