Sam Witherspoon is an engineer and lawyer by trade.

He gave up the nightmare of billable hours to build products that impact the world around us. His company, IMRSV Data Labs, of which he’s the co-founder and CEO, has an unpronounceable name. In the defence industry that’s an asset. It’s hard to hit what you can’t describe.

He created IMRSV to increase the safety and security of Canada and its allies through the effective, transparent use of data. IMRSV recently launched Anvil - an information lifecycle management and analysis platform to support those who defend liberal democracy.
