CEO and Co-Founder, Confiant

Louis-David Mangin, affectionately known in the AdTech and Cybersecurity industry as “LD” has 20 years experience in sales and technology with a specialization in growth and global expansion. Born in France and raised in Connecticut, LD got his start in the financial sector with Prudential Securities and after a front row seat to the dotcom crash, returned to college to study computer science and shifted his focus to tech startups. His career has spanned Fin tech (Omiris Networks, acquired by Tradeware Global), Media tech (NewSight; Outcast, acquired by Gilbarco Veeder Root), and Ad Tech (SeeSaw Networks; GrinShot/CampaignSpring). Specializing in business development and product vision, LD went looking for a technical co-founder working on a fun problem. CyberSecurity technologist Jerome Dangu tapped LD to partner with him on the founding of Confiant, and they’ve been fighting cybercrime together for the past eight years.
