system. By providing a free service, we support access to uncensored Internet allowing people
to connect with each other and stay informed.

Blaming encryption in the name of terrorism and promising peace in the world is definitely not a
th
way to go. On January the 15 , tech giants in the Silicon Valley met Barack Obama’s delegation
that will include NSA chair Admiral Mike Roger, the director of national intelligence, James

About the Author

Robert Knapp - Co-founder and CEO of CyberGhost VPN

As a CEO, he sets the short, mid, and long term milestones for the
company and leads the people in the right direction.He always keeps his
office door open and his eyes on the revenue, just to make sure there is
enough money on the account for paying the wages.

He started his own company when he was 18, and since then he was self - employed, first in
music and event - business, later in IT and internet.Since then, he learned everything from his
own mistakes and managed to cultivate a love - hate relationship with attorneys and
accountants.

For Robert there is no need to separate work from personal life, since he loves what he's doing.
In his vision they are one and the same. He's a sucker for excel sheets with numbers,
conversion rates, St. Pauli soccer team, tattoos and Italian coffee.

While he's not in his office, you're most likely to bump into him in a theater or Opera House, or
accidentally spill his beer during a concert from 80's punk rock heroes like Social Distortion or
Marky Ramone.

Robert is interested in partnerships that can change the internet as we know it.
