EP 60 - Conversation with Dan Frechtling on loss, leadership, and data privacy - what every CEO needs to think about

Sep 13, 2022

After the heartbreaking loss of his wife and life partner, Dan Frechtling, CEO of Boltive and father of three, picked up the pieces and carried on, readjusting his business and parenting to accommodate the needs of both. While his wife was ill, Dan discovered that surfing the web wasn’t safe. Even in the quietest moments, his browser was bombarded with surveillance advertisements and unwanted ads. He decided to take matters into his own hands and founded Boltive to fight data leakage, and invasive media and fight for our right to privacy. A thought leader in the data privacy space, Dan works hard to educate brands and publishers on how to proactively reach consumers without constantly missing the mark.
