Loeb, CGEIT, CAE, FASAE, as Chairman of the Company’s newly formed Advisory Board, effective September 15th, 2020. Bubblr’s Advisory Board has been formed to seek out industry innovators whose experiences, contacts, and accomplishments relate to Bubblr’s mission as an ethical technology company of restoring internet use to its original intention.

He then served as CEO of ISACA (Information Systems and Control Association), a business technology organization focused on risk, audit, information security and data governance, where he led a comprehensive transformation delivering 78% growth during his 4 ½ year tenure. Most recently, Mr. Loeb served as CEO of the Biomedical Engineering Society, repositioning the organization for transformational growth.

Mr. Loeb added, “Today’s Internet makes it difficult to discern truthful content from fake and to have assurance that our personal privacy is protected, not compromised. Further, internet commerce is disproportionately in the hands of bigger enterprises, often marginalizing the small. I am privileged to join Bubblr in this capacity to share guidance and support its mission to restore the internet to its intended purpose of providing a trusted, level playing field where people and enterprises can confidently, safely and securely engage, collaborate, share information, and conduct commerce.”
