Founder of DFend, an AI-powered cybersecurity platform protecting individuals from cybercrime, identity theft, and AI-driven threats — now live in the App Store (U.S.). Exited founder (Stitch), award-winning author (Privacy Pandemic, Foreword Reviews 2023 – Science & Technology), and global business development leader with 20 years of experience driving product innovation, strategic partnerships, and market expansion across cybersecurity, SaaS, digital identity, and digital media. Earlier in my career, I helped pioneer programmatic video at Adap.tv (acquired by AOL), scaled Collective’s video and mobile business into a top-ten platform (acquired by Zeta), and led Turn’s global emerging media growth (acquired by Amobee/Singtel) before founding Stitch, which expanded internationally and was acquired in 2023. My focus today is mission-driven: after experiencing a major cyberattack personally, I shifted to protecting consumers through technology, writing Privacy Pandemic, and ultimately building DFend. DFend combines AI, ML, and agent-based security to proactively detect threats, safeguard accounts, and protect digital identities. Highlights --> Author of Privacy Pandemic — award-winning, recognized globally for digital privacy advocacy --> Selected to Cybersecurity Ventures’ inaugural Cybersecurity Pundits list --> Proven track record as a founder, builder, and innovator across emerging technologies --> Frequent keynote speaker and commentator on cybersecurity, privacy, and digital identity Website: www.christopherasmith.com

My contributions have been recognized widely, including being named one of Inc. Magazine's "33 Entrepreneurs to Watch" and listed among Silicon Valley's top investors. Beyond business, I’m committed to philanthropy and always seeking ways to give back. Let’s connect and explore how Impacter AI can shape the future together.
