As an entrepreneur, I love tackling big challenges – from scaling startups to solving problems in various disciplines like product development, management, marketing, and finance.

At Protecto, we’re tackling one of the most transformational problems of our time – privacy and data protection. Solving data protection and privacy will accelerate data-driven innovation just as car safety innovations have enabled us to drive faster and safer.

Our mission is to engineer a privacy-first world and empower businesses to achieve 10-100x stronger data protection.
