Casey Bleeker
Casey Bleeker is the co-founder and CEO of SurePath AI, a Denver-based startup that helps enterprises adopt generative AI without leaking their secrets to it. He built the company in 2023 around a simple bet: companies will not choose between banning AI and losing control of their data, so SurePath sits at the network edge, governing what employees send to public models and redacting what they should not. Before founding SurePath, Casey ran CDW's $2B+ Cloud and Cloud Native business and held senior roles at Cisco in AI/ML, IoT, and developer advocacy. He is a computational-biology major turned go-to-market operator who codes his own prototypes, and online he is better known as 'geekbleek.'
