NetSupport began with a modem, a distant PC and a motorway journey nobody wanted to make. Thirty-seven years later, the British software maker still sells the same practical promise: see the problem, reach the machine and put the human back in control.

Karen Gondoly is the CEO of Leostream Corporation, the Boston-area company whose vendor-neutral connection broker and gateway software quietly runs the remote desktops of Hollywood studios, oil rigs, trading floors, and government agencies. An MIT-trained aeronautical engineer who once left tech to become a head pastry chef, she answered a Craigslist ad for a technical writing gig, was offered a product manager role instead, and rose to run the company by 2016. Under her leadership Leostream won a 2022 Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy and stayed cash-flow positive without new funding since 2008.
