Founder & CEO, RankShield
Jamie Kloncz is the founder and CEO of RankShield, the verifiable AI and quantum security platform. He started the company after two attacks landed in a single week: his phone was cloned, and his business was hit by a click-fraud campaign. One targeted him as a person, the other his livelihood, and no single tool defended both. That experience, together with surviving an AI voice-clone scam, shaped RankShield’s core belief: the threats of the AI age are personal first, and trust should be something you can check, not just extend.
