Founder, President & Chief Executive Officer
 Privo

Denise Tayloe co-founded Privo in early 2001, inspired by the opportunities and challenges of implementing the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) which became effective in 2000. Her vision for Privo is to help consumers manage their digital identities and to create a software solution that would help companies effectively interact with children while in compliance with the federal and state laws. Privo bridges the gap between the competing privacy and commerce interests of consumers and businesses, with a special focus on the protection of kids' privacy.

Denise has become a recognized leader and authority in permission and identity management, has been an invited speaker on the subject at conferences regarding children's privacy issues across the globe, and has been published in the official newsletter of the International Association of Privacy Professionals and BNA. Ms. Tayloe has also conducted private workshops to help companies understand the intricacies of COPPA and how to maintain customer relationships within legal boundaries.

Ms. Tayloe has more than 15 years experience in business development, sales, finance and the development of companies innovating and providing business and technology related services. She was a senior auditing consultant with Arthur Andersen for small business and developing technology companies. She completed her CPA after graduating Magna Cum Laude from George Mason University with a degree in Accounting and Finance.
