Mahmoud Abdelkader
CEO and Co-founder, Very Good Security (VGS)
Mahmoud Abdelkader is CEO and co-founder of Very Good Security (VGS), an Andreessen Horowitz-backed company that allows startups and enterprises to preserve the functionality of their sensitive data (e.g., passport numbers, Social Security numbers, etc.) without having to store that data on their own system. It does this by intercepting data in motion and then replacing it with a non-sensitive alias which companies can operate on just as they would the original data. Mahmoud started VGS to make best-in-class security and compliance attainable for businesses of all sizes.
