Marti McCurdy
Owner and CEO
Spirit Electronics
Background: McCurdy is a veteran not only of the semiconductor business but also of the United States Air Force. McCurdy’s focus as CEO is to serve the aerospace and defense industry with high reliability supply chain solutions that include component distribution and value-added services. McCurdy’s mission is to bring her high standard of customer service and cultivated relationships to serve the A&D sector.
Key to success: “The core value of hard work and persistence that my parents instilled in me, along with the discipline from the military. Those factors created a fearless, stubborn, and dedicated outlook in me that directs a lot of my business ventures.”
Source of pride: “Building the [Spirit Electronics] team. Without the team, there is no business. Bringing up the director and management-level team to be the face and voice of the company successfully is the initial building block, then you have a great foundation. Enabling the team to make big decisions is how you grow exponentially.”
Surprising fact: “I have a terrible ice cream habit. My first job was at a Dairy Queen. I cannot have ice cream in the house or I eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”
