How We Got Here
Incorporated in 2004, Geeks and Nerds (GaN), has grown from one employee located in Huntsville, Alabama, to dozens of employees populating offices across the United States. During that time, we have successfully executed 35 prime contracts and hundreds of task orders with exceptional results.
In 2015, GaN officially became an employee-owned company! Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), our eligible employees can directly influence their own and GaN’s financial future. Our employees, as owners, understand that our success depends on all of us working together to exceed our customers’ expectations.
