From the racetrack to the race for cybersecurity spending dollars. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast with CrowdStrike (CRWD) founder and CEO George Kurtz. The conversation veered off down a few side streets, so to speak. Kurtz is an accomplished endurance racer, and that led him recently to purchase a 15% minority interest in the Mercedes F1 team. It’s an incredible combination of Kurtz’s public company experience, tech expertise, and passion for racing. At the same time, CrowdStrike is gearing up for a big 2026 in the eyes of Wall Street as more AI agents raise the risk of cybersecurity threats. Kurtz reveals his operating playbook for the road ahead.
