David Anderson is the co-founder & CEO of Invariant Corporation. When you think of companies that are truly creating solutions and capabilities for their customers, Invariant should be at the top of the list. Bullwinkle, Loki, FireFly, and Mule are just some of their main products that Invariant has evolved, many of which date back to their collective experiences with the Javelin missile program. Invariant recently celebrated reaching the 100 employee milestone and David and his management team are actively working to create an employee owned company. I was particularly impressed with the work they are doing through the Crime Gun Intelligence Technologies (CGIT), which is literally helping police to determine where gunshots were fired in their city and then identifying the shooter. Amazing Technology! A native of Arab, I learned a lot from David and his thoughts on restaurants, sports, the arts, and so much more.
