Bio

Wes Kussmaul is a visionary thinker and writer. He is author of an upcoming book originally entitled "Beyond Palladium: Bring security with privacy to your networks and your life", which toutes with encyclopedic precision and breadth the reasons and motives for the future of online authentication.

Mr. Kussmaul was the sole founder in 1981 of Delphi Internet Services Corporation, "The Company That Popularized The Internet." At the time it was sold to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation in 1993, Delphi was among the four largest online services, along with AOL, CompuServe and Prodigy.

In 1986, while CEO of Delphi, Mr. Kussmaul launched a spinoff, Global Villages Incorporated to serve magazine publishers and business clients with their own private-label online services. During the next twelve years Global provided business planning, design, engineering, hosting, management and promotion services for Digital Equipment Corporation, William F. Buckley's National Review, BioTechniques, Hardcopy, International Business, Business Digest, and many other companies and magazines. Global's hosting business was sold in 1998 to WingNet, Inc. and is now a part of Verio, Inc.
