Julie Bush
Co-founder and CEO of Valinor Enterprises since July 2024. Spent more than a decade at Palantir Technologies, most recently as Senior Vice President of Federal & Strategic, where she helped build its government business; previously Legislative Counsel for the U.S. House of Representatives. J.D., Elon University School of Law.
Bush built her career at the intersection of law, Capitol Hill, and government technology: Legislative Aide in the U.S. Senate (2009), then Legislative Counsel in the U.S. House (2012-2013), before joining Palantir in 2013, where she spent over a decade building new government markets across Defense, Civilian, Public Health, and Intelligence. In July 2024 she co-founded Valinor Enterprises alongside Paul Kwan, Trae Stephens, and Grant Verstandig - a 'hub-and-spoke' operating company that centralizes government compliance and business infrastructure while decentralizing engineering across product subsidiaries. Within its first year Valinor stood up ten product companies, partnered with Anduril and Palantir, and shipped Valinor Streamline, an application built on Palantir Foundry, with backing from Founders Fund and General Catalyst.
