What if family dynamics could make or break a startup? Join us as we uncover the compelling journey of Greg Levesque, CEO of Strider Technologies, who turned the skepticism around family-run businesses on its head. Greg, alongside his brother Eric, has built a company that not only addresses the complex issue of intellectual property theft by foreign nation-states but also contributes significantly to national security. Learn how Greg's background in international relations and his adventurous spirit led him from rural Maine to Utah's vibrant tech scene.
Economic growth and national security are two sides of the same coin, and Greg Levesque exemplifies this in his strategic decision-making. From relocating Strider Technologies' headquarters to Utah’s thriving Silicon Slopes to navigating the intricate landscape of U.S.-China relations, Greg's story is a masterclass in balancing professional ambition with personal fulfillment. We discuss the catalytic effect of Utah's defense tech sector on local economic rejuvenation, and how community and mentorship play crucial roles in fostering innovation.
