Joseph Kopser

Joseph Kopser co-founded a company, built it from scratch, then sold it to Mercedes. He stayed on with them to advise their senior leadership and assist in their evolution as a mobility company. From those experiences (combined with 20 years in the Army), he wrote the book, Catalyst, chronicling the opportunities and challenges in the 21st Century economy for business and policy makers. He's an active investor and mentor to dozens of companies. After running for Congress, he served a year as an Executive-in-Residence at the McCombs School of Business at UT-Austin. Today, he's using those experiences (including time as a Special Assistant to the CEO of the Army) to build the next generation of leaders in some of the most exciting companies in America.
