Trust in crypto systems requires trust in both the technology and the people behind it. Andy Yen is the founder and CEO of Proton, the privacy-focused tech company behind encrypted email service Proton Mail. Prior to founding Proton in 2014, he worked as a particle physicist at CERN, where he co-developed the infrastructure for secure, end-to-end encrypted communication inspired by large-scale computing challenges. His commitment to user privacy stems from experiences like Edward Snowden's revelations and concerns over authoritarian surveillance.
