Harry Maugans, Privacy Bee

Privacy Bee is an External Data Privacy suite that monitors and removes exposed personal information from the internet.  Cybersecurity is not enough, as most companies that experience data breaches already have cybersecurity and employee training investments, so Privacy Bee is a novel way of further de-risking a business.

By scrubbing employee exposures from the surface web, Privacy Bee makes it harder for hackers, spear phishers, and social engineers to craft highly effective PII-infused attacks, which trick employees into divulging sensitive information.  Spear phishing is today’s biggest risk to a business, and Privacy Bee is the only company in the world that effectively decreases the risk proactively, complementary to cybersecurity, through effective management of a businesses’ external privacy exposures.

Privacy Bee’s high-impact solution is also leveraged as Poach Defense (making it harder for recruiters to access and solicit your top talent), productivity boost (blocking overly aggressive sales people), proactive identity theft defense (making it harder for thieves to fill out fraudulent credit apps), and employee or executive protection (perfectly complementing any physical safety efforts).

Privacy Bee is the fastest growing privacy-centric company in the world, offering both business and consumer solutions.

Harry Maugans is an entrepreneurial visionary with a passion for solving large problems in complex markets.  His journey began in high school, where at just 14 years old he built a company that employed over two dozen people, landing major clients like Chevron-Texaco, Travelocity, Marathon Petroleum, CompUSA, and more.  That success propelled Harry to win a flurry of awards and recognition, from the Atlanta Journal Constitution Cup to the prestigious ACG Entrepreneur of the Year Award, alongside billionaire Charlie Loudermilk.

Over the next 15 years, Harry created and scaled three separate startup companies from concept to 7-8 figure acquisitions, in industries ranging from automotive to quantitative finance.  The most recent was Clickagy, where Harry founded, built, and grew the startup into the largest and most advanced behavioral intelligence company in the world, landing major clients like Samsung, AT&T, Home Depot, and even the US Government.  Finally in 2020, ZoomInfo ($ZI on Nasdaq) bought Clickagy in the largest acquisition of its kind in history.

Following that last exit, Harry made the decision to retire and began traveling extensively with his family, however the entrepreneurial fire wouldn’t dim.  Soon it became abundantly clear that privacy legislation wasn’t effective and he couldn’t ignore the growing and rampant exploitation of data he witnessed across the AdTech industry, so he decided to get back  on the horse once more, launching Privacy Bee.  Leveraging Harry’s previous decade of data experience, Privacy Bee aims to fight back against those who exploit data for selfish gain, those who are negligent with consumer info leading to data breaches or identity theft, and those who weaponize data for social engineering, hacking, and scams.

The world is screaming for increased privacy, and Harry created Privacy Bee to dominate that massive market void.  Today Privacy Bee is trusted to protect countless celebrities, politicians, athletes, musicians, actors, and other privacy-centric individuals.  In 2023 Privacy Bee launched a comprehensive business suite to protect employees, and has already signed up thousands of companies from small local SMBs to Fortune 100 enterprises, and was even awarded the largest government contract in history to protect the privacy of federal employees.  In a very short period of time, Privacy Bee has secured itself as the unequivocal leader in the data privacy industry.

Harry Maugans is an absolute savant in business and all indications point to his latest company, Privacy Bee, becoming yet another record-setting success.  His infectious energy and mission-driven strategies continually inspire the team around him, and his ever-optimistic passion molds a devoted culture.  Harry’s mantra is to challenge the status quo through relentless innovation, and his long track record of success proves he’s extremely good at it.
