SMB Account Executive, Cyber Security & Data Privacy - Denver, CO

About Abine, The Online Privacy Company

Abine is the online privacy company that makes easy-to-use tools for consumers and businesses to control what personal information companies, third parties, and other people see about them online.

Although the notion of privacy isn’t new, privacy in an interconnected, digital world is much more difficult to navigate. When our founders Rob Shavell, Andrew Sudbury, and Eugene Kuznetsov got together in a small office in Cambridge, MA years ago and agreed that this was emerging as a major problem on the web, Abine was born. Because the ways that third parties are collecting people’s information is constantly changing, Abine has evolved to address these challenges for today and tomorrow. 

Abine is led by a passionate team, backed by premier investment firms, and supercharged by a strong mission to empower consumers with privacy.
