Michael Melen is a digital entrepreneur. To maintain a competitive advantage, it was important to Michael to browse the web anonymously. Unsatisfied with any of the privacy solutions on the market, Michael took matters into his own hands. In 2006, Proxy Key was established to provide small business owners the same privacy and protection that was once available only to hacking groups and large enterprises. Michael has received numerous accolades for his work, including a feature in Forbes Magazine. He is a graduate of Cornell University
