In this episode, host Dave Fiore speaks with Mindy Perkins, CEO of VR Systems, a Tallahassee-based elections technology company focused on voter registration. Mindy’s experience as an elementary school teacher and customer service representative was an untraditional but effective training ground for helping the company ride the wave of sweeping changes to the system following the 2000 presidential election.

Her journey from a folding table in the founders’ living room to the CEO suite has included onsite innovations after a devastating hurricane and being at the center of a Russian attempt to disrupt our elections in 2016. Today, Mindy leads an employee-owned company with a national presence at the very heart of our democracy.
