Well-deserved award for our friend and fellow alum, Heather Brunner, Austin Business Journal’s 2015 CEO of the Year! Heather is CEO of WP Engine, which was started locally by Jason Cohen, an early Capital Factory company that has catapulted well beyond startup status.

Heather previously served in C-level roles at Bazaarvoice and B-side among others.

[Full Disclosure: the Author’s company is a very happy customer of WP Engine and can vouch for the value of the service]
