Few founders can say they’ve guided the same company from scrappy startup to publicly traded platform while maintaining their innovative edge—but Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box, is no ordinary founder. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, taking place October 27–29 at Moscone West in San Francisco, Levie will join us live on the Disrupt Stage to share how he has kept Box at the forefront of innovation through two decades of technological shifts.
He will explore what true reinvention looks like within a public company, discuss how AI is transforming—or not transforming—enterprise software, and explain why staying ahead requires constantly questioning even your most successful ideas.
Box launched before “the cloud” became a buzzword and outlasted numerous competitors that failed to scale or adapt. Levie’s unique perspective—as both a visionary founder and a long-term public company CEO—offers rare insights. He will reflect on the toughest pivots, the most unexpected challenges, and the mindset needed to evolve in an industry that moves at lightning speed.
Aaron Levie helped pioneer cloud collaboration long before it became a trend, and he continues to set the standard. This fireside chat will delve into what it takes to build an enduring company—not just in terms of product, but also culture, strategy, and leadership. Whether you’re leading an early-stage startup or managing a large-scale enterprise, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
