About Mark Grazman

I am an experienced cybersecurity leader committed to helping companies protect against ransomware, and if attacked, recover as fast as possible. At Conversant Group and Fenix24, we are building the first civilian cybersecurity corps to fight back against the terrorists committing attacks of aggression (called ransomware). This is more than a job, it is our passion to protect and defend US and EU companies against todays cyber warfare. Over my 25+ year career, I have often been on the frontline of driving change through social entrepreneurship included working to help privatize companies and instill democracy in former Soviet countries after the fall of communism, leading private equity funds focused on Central Europe and Israel, helping Bosnian refugees under the auspices of USAID during the Yugoslav war, and giving voice to a new generation of leaders in Poland through the internet. Most recently, I was the CEO of an email security company named MessageControl and led that from a few beta customers through a successful exit to Mimecast. I earned my BA from Duke with a focus on Public Policy and Literature.
