Prior to that, Demas spent four years in sales with IBM.

Demas currently also serves on the board of Turn and the advisory board of Digital Performance. Bill earned an MBA from Harvard Graduate School of Business and bachelor degrees in Computer Science and Organizational Behavior & Management from Brown University.

"CitizenHawk is solving a problem that has existed for a long time but no one has been able to effectively address," said Bill Demas. "I joined CitizenHawk's Board because the company is out to make the web safer and more transparent, and I am eager to work with the team to achieve these goals."

"Bill Demas is an important addition to our board," said Graham MacRobie, co-founder, president and chief executive officer of CitizenHawk. "Bill not only brings extensive domain expertise to CitizenHawk, but also adds significant business development experience to the company.
