About Ron Vaisbort

I\'m a life-long entrepreneur, board member, general counsel, compliance, IP and privacy steward for organizations storing, securing and analyzing the world\'s most sensitive data and building the most complex technologies. My customers include the U.S. and numerous foreign governments and the largest technology, financial services, media & entertainment, energy, manufacturing and healthcare providers on the planet. I\'ve supported the ambitions of founders through the entire lifecycles of their companies -from idea to exit - while balancing the interests of investors, shareholders and employees.Known for my integrity, creativity and dexterity navigating complex technical, business and legal issues, I efficiently guide teams to business-oriented solutions. Being multi-lingual in legal/data privacy matters, technical topics and business/finance makes me a highly effective \"bridge\" between stakeholders. I\'m a player-coach: knowing when to mentor and when to roll up my sleeves and execute on projects large and small.
