GovX celebrates 11 years
“GovX’s mission is to serve those who serve, and looking back at the last eleven years, I am proud to share that is exactly what our team accomplishes day after day,” said GovX President and CEO Alan Cole
SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) August 18, 2022
In 2011, a small group of people had the desire to create a curated catalog of gear at the best prices exclusively for those who protect and serve. Eleven years later, GovX has grown into an award-winning, massive online marketplace where U.S. military service members, first responders, emergency medical professionals, and other state/federal employees access discounts and deals on thousands of major brands, products, programs, and experiences across the internet. More than just great deals in one convenient online platform, GovX has solidified itself as an integral part of the servicemember community over the last 11 years, establishing major partnerships through the GovX.com marketplace, its GovX ID technology, GovX Gives Back, and more.
“GovX’s mission is to serve those who serve, and looking back at the last eleven years, I am proud to share that is exactly what our team accomplishes day after day. We couldn’t have done any of this without our dedicated team, amazing members, their families, and our partners,” said GovX President and CEO Alan Cole. “I am honored to celebrate this milestone, and I look forward to all that we will accomplish in the future.”
