Information technology superstar Brian Kelley has been kicking ass across the Internet tubes for the better part of the last decade. Innovative and motivated, Brian Kelley recently co-founded ReputationDefender, the market leader in online privacy and reputation management. At ReputationDefender, Brian Kelley displays his enterprise acumen as he combines his knowledge of the business and technical worlds for the benefit of the firm, leveraging extensive experience in bid-ask trading, exchange, and online complex financial models. Brian Kelley is responsible not only for all of the technology that ReputationDefender uses and develops in-house, he has also built up a team of dedicated technological professionals that are familiar with ReputationDefender’s software development goals and system infrastructure.

Brian Kelley revolutionized the online music industry at the age of 19 when he founded The Open Mic. The Open Mic was the world’s first online music agent and marketed unsigned musicians to record companies, producers and venues. Brian Kelley was forced to cease active work on the company in 1999 when it grew too large to manage while he was away at Skidmore College studying for his degree in music. Brian Kelley has plans to restart The Open Mic in the future, when the time is right.

Outside of the IT realm, Brian Kelley has been developing critical decision making skills by earning his pilot’s license (he was 17 at the time), SCUBA diving, and racing ridiculously souped-up cars in the famous Gumball Rally. Brian has participated in the Gumball Rally twice; the first time in the United States, completing a San Francisco to Miami race in his private 2000 Audi S4, the second time in Europe, driving a Ferrari 355 spider from Paris to Cannes. Brian Kelley currently resides in Mountain View, California.
