Board

Management

We started the company with the recognition that phishing has become a serious threat, and more importantly, that until now, there wasn’t a good solution to combat email-based phishing.

We’ve put together a top-notch team of people who know how to ship products, build businesses and solve problems and are all singularly focused on ridding the planet of phishing. Sure, that’s a big task, but that’s why we’re here.

Robert Pickup

Founder & CEO

Robert founded the company in 2009 and was responsible for the original product vision that provided the basis for the services the company brought to market and sells today. Robert continues to provide the vision behind the company’s strategy, products and services and also spearheads technical integration work with email receivers, ISPs and distribution partners, and represents the company in key industry organizations and standards bodies including the Messaging Anti Abuse Working Group (MAAWG) and the Antiphishing Working Group (APWG).

Robert has been a founder and entrepreneur in the internet and email security space since 1995, having established several successful Internet start-ups including Creative Access (acquired by Sausage Software) and Agentarts (acquired by Fast Search & Transfer). Robert founded Bluebottle Solutions in 2002 to develop antispam and antiphishing technologies. In 2003, Robert led the development of Trusted Delivery, a lightweight email authentication framework designed to eliminate email spoofing and to establish a simplified approach to identify email from legitimate and trustworthy senders.

Most recently, Robert founded Truedomain Inc in early 2009, to further the evolution of Trusted Delivery into a standards based framework to enable email authentication between domain owners and email receivers to provide a foundation for effective antiphishing protection.
