Dave Marra spent more than a decade inside Big Tech, but what he saw there convinced him America was heading in the wrong direction.
"I watched the woke-mind virus be conceived, gestated, born and turned into an unruly teenager. And it was almost the demise of our society," he told Fox News Digital.
Now, as CEO of Rivet Industries – the defense technology company that just secured a $195 million contract with the U.S. Army – Marra says he’s determined to redirect innovation away from Silicon Valley’s cultural obsessions and back toward the people who "build and defend our country."
From blue-collar workers who keep the lights on to soldiers on the battlefield, Marra argues America’s survival depends on equipping them with cutting-edge tools, especially as the U.S. faces an AI arms race against China.
