Founder Gillespie Ousted from Govini Board Following Child Sex Sting Arrest
Govini, a defense software startup, terminated founder Eric Gillespie’s board position after his arrest on charges related to soliciting sexual contact with a minor. The company emphasized its commitment to security and clarified that Gillespie, 57, hasn’t had access to classified data since stepping down as CEO years ago. The Pentagon is investigating potential security risks. The news comes after Govini surpassed $100 million in ARR and secured a $150 million investment. They also hold a $900 million government contract for supply chain risk analysis.
