Spence is the CEO of BrainGu, a company dedicated to building innovative, resilient software solutions that bridge the gap between commercial technology and defense operations. With a background in financial systems, analytics, and cybersecurity at scale, Spence transitioned from financial systems into cybersecurity analytics within the intelligence and defense sectors. This deep technical foundation informs his leadership, but his business focus is on evolving the way software innovation is delivered through the lens of outcomes instead of inputs. At BrainGu, Spence champions Developer Experience and drives innovation in highly regulated industries, where balancing progress with complex compliance is critical. Under his leadership, BrainGu empowers developers in regulated environments to operate with the same agility and effectiveness as those in Silicon Valley. In his latest book, Change the Box: A Guide to Dream, Incubate, and Scale Your Innovations, Spence shares BrainGu’s journey in dual-use defense innovation. The book explores how to balance creativity and compliance, incubate groundbreaking ideas, and scale innovations that thrive in both commercial and government settings. It reflects a worldview that embraces complexity and turns it into tangible, high-quality outcomes. When he’s not leading BrainGu or writing about innovation, Spence enjoys making music, cooking outside his comfort zone, and working in the yard.
