George Kurtz, Co-founder of CrowdStrike - The Path from Accounting Major to Programmer to Ringing the IPO Bell

Inside the episode

Released June 30, 2020

"We needed a lot more possibilities people and a lot less parameters people." - George Kurtz


George Kurtz is the President, Founder, & CEO of CrowdStrike, but his journey to the CEO of a $20B+ company isn’t one that a lot of people would expect.

We sat down with George to discuss:

• What nearly got him fired from PricewaterhouseCoopers
• Why his lack of collegiate tech background makes him a more effective tech CEO
• How CrowdStrike had a remote workforce model in place before COVID19 hit
• Why the IPO is the green flag for a company, not the checkered flag
