Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin recently surprised Virginia with positive news. According to an official statement by the Governor's office, Fortreum, LLC, a cloud computing and cybersecurity company, will invest $125,000 to establish its headquarters in Loudoun County.

“Fortreum’s decision to establish its headquarters in Loudoun County demonstrates the competitive advantage that Virginia offers tech companies advancing this sector in the 21st century,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “The Commonwealth is a national leader in cybersecurity, and Fortreum’s role in securing and protecting data contributes to the industry’s continued growth.”

“We are proud that this Virginia-founded company will deepen its roots by establishing a headquarters facility in Loudoun County,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. “Northern Virginia offers the location, infrastructure, and world-class talent to catalyze the growth of technology businesses like Fortreum, and we thank the company for creating 53 new jobs.”

“Having been long-time Virginia residents, Loudoun County was our first choice because of the strong technology ecosystem and a diverse cybersecurity workforce within the Northern Virginia technology hub, as well as the collaborative relationship we’ve enjoyed with the state, county, and respective universities,” said James Leach, Fortreum CEO. “As we look to expand significantly, we determined this area provided the best opportunity for exponential business growth.”

“Congratulations to Fortreum, LLC on the expansion and establishment of its headquarters in Loudoun County,” said Senator Jennifer Boysko. “This company is a great fit with our highly educated workforce, business community, and wonderful place to live. We welcome the 53 well-paying jobs at this cloud and cybersecurity business.”
