Biden nominates Hartogensis to serve on USPS board of governors

By Linn’s Staff

The White House announced Sept. 9 that President Joe Biden has nominated entrepreneur and investor Gordon Hartogensis to serve on the United States Postal Service’s board of governors.

Hartogensis recently completed a five-year term (2019-2024) as the director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

“Hartogensis left an early career on Wall Street in 1993 to build a startup software company called Petrolsoft Corporation — a supply chain and logistics company that was later acquired by Aspen Technology,” the White House said. “He served in a leadership role at Aspen until June 2002.”

“Shortly after his departure from Aspen Technology, he founded Auric Technology, a customer relationship management software company,” the White House said. “In 2011, Auric was sold to Telnorm. Following his departure from Auric, he was an angel investor and advisor to several technology startups in cybersecurity, immunotherapy, streaming video, fintech [financial technology], and artificial intelligence.”

Hartogensis grew up in Maryland and attended Montgomery County public schools. He earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Stanford University and a master’s degree in technology management from Columbia University.

Hartogensis and his wife, Grace, live in Connecticut.
