Prior to joining Weave as CEO, Roy Banks served in various
leadership roles at high-growth companies in the Utah community,
and is a proud veteran of the United States Navy where he served as
a Petty Officer 2nd Class: software engineer for five years.
“It’s an honor to be named among such highly-esteemed
businesses, and I’m grateful to the organizers that a recognition
of veteran CEOs exists,” said Weave CEO, Roy Banks. “I’m forever
indebted to the U.S. Navy for the lessons I learned that have
enabled me to succeed in business. Weave continues to grow at an
accelerated pace highlighted by a large market opportunity and our
customer obsession. It's a true privilege to inherit the legacy of
our founders and lead this talented company, and I’m hopeful we
will see more veteran-owned and operated companies join us in the
public markets for years to come.”
Roy became the only Black CEO of a Utah tech Unicorn when he
joined Weave in December 2020 and shortly after he led the company
through its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange
on Veteran’s Day in 2021. With an A+ on Comparably, Roy is rated
among the top 5% of CEOs of similar-sized companies. Weave is on a
mission to help small businesses unify, modernize, and personalize
every customer interaction.
