[edit] About ZYB

ZYB was founded in 2005 by three entrepreneurs from Copenhagen (Tommy Ahlers, Morten Lund, and Ole Højriis Kristensen). The desire was to secure mobile data and enhance usability of phones by allowing people to share and manage data online. The founders wanted to offer as many features as possible, including the back-up itself, free of charge.

ZYB is based in Copenhagen. Tommy Ahlers is CEO of ZYB and the board of directors consists of Henrik Albertsen (CEO Nordic Venture Partners), Preben Damgaard (co-founder of Damgaard and former EVP at Microsoft), Torben Haase (CEO of Excitor) and Tommy Ahlers.
