I put my 2 weeks notice in today at my current job, and as of October 22nd I’ll be joining the team at Demoxi. My official title will be http://debashishbanerji.com/videos/art/colonialism-and-modernism-in-indian-art-1750-1920/ Senior Manager, Product Marketing which is basically a fancy title for “doing some really cool stuff in a really cool area.”
I wasn’t really looking for a career change at this time, however certain opportunities presented themselves after my trip to Seattle and I couldn’t say no.
Demoxi is a rather new company focusing on online identity and privacy – two areas that are constantly becoming concerns for many individuals. It’s all about “connecting with confidence.” There’s a lot of potential here, and I’m excited to be part of it.
I’m going to miss working with all the people at Brand Labs. It’s been a lot of fun over the past 6 months or so, and I’m really sad to leave. I feel bad about leaving Brand Labs, but joining Demoxi is the right career move for me, and I hope to benefit from the countless opportunities it will provide.
I’ll post some more updates later, and no I’m not moving to Bellevue (yet!) For now, I urge you to check out the Demoxi homepage.
Congratulations dude, as long as “connecting with confidence” doesn’t equate to “exploiting people’s fears and ignorance about the net for financial gain”… 🙂

Heh. That’s a good concern Al, but I don’t think you have to worry there.
I haven’t signed my NDA yet, so I’m not sure what I can and can’t disclose about the company… So I’m going to be very brief.
Demoxi isn’t about playing on people’s fears of internet security and privacy like a lot of companies out there. It’s more about giving people the tools to connect how they want to connect.
As far as the financial gain aspect goes, I think you’ll be impressed with how that’s going to be handled, and how the product works and what it does. I’ll let you know when a public beta is out.

Sounds interesting dude! Now can you help me with my AOL NetNanny XP Super Firewall software as it seems to be blocking this application called “TEH INTERNETS”?
