Julie Bush

Julie Bush is the Co-Founder and CEO of Valinor, a technology company that addresses critical defense and national security gaps through a unique model. As an operational holding company, Valinor centralizes business infrastructure and operations while decentralizing product and engineering, lowering barriers to entry in defense and government go-to-market and delivering value at unparalleled speed. Backed by top investors such as Founders Fund and General Catalyst, and in partnership with leading companies such as Anduril and Palantir, Valinor supports the unresolved problems where traditional models breakdown.

Previously, Julie was the SVP in Palantir’s Government business where she spent over a decade building new markets across the Defense, Civilian, Public Health, and Intelligence sectors. Julie has also spent time in the US Senate, the US House of Representatives, and is a Member of the North Carolina State Bar.

Julie resides in Alexandria, Virginia with her husband Nick, two young daughters Cassidy and Olivia, and loyal buddy, Huck. She has a JD from Elon University, BA from East Carolina University, and grew up in Cleveland, Ohio.
