Stu Stern

Stu co-founded Gorilla Logic in 2002, after serving as founding VP of the Sun Java Center, Sun Microsystems’ global Java professional services organization. As VP of Equity Trading Systems Technology at PaineWebber (now UBS), he led the firm’s trading floor into the digital era. While living in NYC, Stu also fronted the 80s techno band, Strategic Dance Initiative (fans are still hoping for a comeback tour).

A self-professed geek with more than 30 years of programming experience, Stu has hired literally hundreds of talented developers who are passionate about using technology to help customers transform their businesses. He occasionally slings code, and loves mixing it up with Gorilla Logic’s customers and engineers (“really smart people doing cool things”).

An “alt-indie guy” who founded a music startup in the late 80s, Stu constantly cycles through new tunes while creating countless playlists. You can usually find him with his axe at Gorilla Logic’s monthly Boulder Geek Jam, or riding his bike at Flagstaff Mountain.
