Gregory M. Kurtzer is a veteran open-source pioneer, technologist, and entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in high-performance computing (HPC) and large-scale enterprise infrastructure. He first gained widespread industry prominence as the co-founder of CentOS Linux, which grew into one of the world's most ubiquitous enterprise operating systems, and he later created other foundational open-source projects like the Warewulf cluster management toolkit and the Singularity (now Apptainer) container system.

In 2020, Gregory founded his current venture, with the goal of modernizing infrastructure stacks for the cloud and AI era. He and his team recognized that traditional enterprise infrastructure was too fragmented and ill equipped to handle the next generation of data intensive computing.
