The Futurity Story

Heidi Hessler

CEO

“I'm proud that Futurity serves so many with software that helps communities prepare for and recover from emergencies.”

In 2005, Futurity’s founder, Robert Richards, envisioned comprehensive solutions to modern disaster challenges that continue to increase as populations grow. Our platform includes mobile-enabled disaster management software with intuitive technological tools, exceptional training programs, and unparalleled customer service. We focus on both the logistical distribution of resources and the public mass care solutions during an emergency. During blue and grey sky days, we help alleviate the time consuming, manual reporting processes, and break down data silos between departments with meaningful reporting and analytics, giving critical situational awareness. Our platform’s ability to evolve for the unique needs of our customers sets us apart by giving you the perfect solution to handle any disaster.

Heidi Hessler brings over twelve years of technology industry leadership to Futurity, overseeing the corporate direction and strategies for development, sales, and marketing. Her mission is to provide easy-to-use and effective technology for disaster management teams.

She established a “customer first” culture within Futurity and sets clear expectations that customer satisfaction is the measure of Futurity’s success. This level of customer accountability has led Futurity to expand into 30 plus states. She is frequently invited to speak at disaster management conferences across the United States about effective solutions during an emergency.

Heidi grew up in a farming community in Northern California, where she still lives with her family. She earned her BA from UC Davis, and Juris Doctorate from Northwestern California University School of Law.
