LOS ANGELES, September 18, 2023 — BuildOps, the only all-in-one management software built specifically for the modern commercial contractor, today announces a distinguished addition to its lineup of speakers, U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel William Swenson—a true American hero and Medal of Honor recipient. LTC Swenson will share his remarkable journey and leadership insights, as well as engage in open Q&A with BuildOps customers at the first Annual BuildOps Forge User Conference.
LTC Swenson was bestowed the Medal of Honor in 2013 for his fearless actions during the 2009 Battle of Ganigal, which unfolded in the terrain near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. His unwavering commitment to his fellow soldiers led him to enter the perilous “kill zone” to rescue wounded comrades under heavy enemy fire—not just once, but many times over. As one of only three Medal of Honor recipients still on active duty, LTC Swenson embodies the values of selfless leadership and extraordinary determination.
“We are privileged to welcome LTC Swenson as a special guest speaker for BuildOps Forge,” said BuildOps CEO, Alok Chanani. “He is the definition of what it means to serve your country—a true war hero in our time. His remarkable journey, marked by three tours of duty and one of the highest honors awarded by the United States military, serves as a powerful reminder that dedication and determination are the cornerstones of success—on the battlefield and through everything we pursue in life.”
LTC Swenson joins legendary boxing great, Mike Tyson, as a featured speaker for the first annual BuildOps Forge Conference.
The BuildOps Forge Conference, open exclusively to BuildOps customers, will bring together industry experts, thought leaders, and service professionals from across the country to discuss the latest industry trends, product innovations, and best practices related to the BuildOps platform, including the latest advancements in BuildOps AI. Attendees can expect a diverse program of panel discussions, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities throughout the course of the three-day event. The event is set to take place from November 6-8, 2023 at the Huntington Beach Resort & Spa in Huntington Beach, California. BuildOps customers can learn more at BuildOps.com/Forge.
