This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we go inside the GeekWire Awards, our annual event recognizing the top leaders, companies, and innovations in the Pacific Northwest, which drew a sold-out crowd to the Showbox SoDo in Seattle.
We talk with finalists about what’s next, the economy and key trends in their industries, and we hear from some of the winners on stage during the program.
Guests on the show include:
- Gaurav Oberoi, the CEO of Lexion, the AI-powered contract management software company, which this week announced an agreement to be acquired by Docusign for $165 million.
