Steve DelBianco

President and CEO

Steve is an expert on Internet governance, online consumer protection, and Internet taxation. He’s provided expert testimony in 25 Congressional hearings and many more state legislative sessions. Steve is frequently quoted on technology issues in the media, including a segment on 60 Minutes exposing barriers to innovation in residential real estate. Steve debated online taxes on CNN Situation Room, CNBC Larry Kudlow, PBS Nightly Business Report, CBS This Morning, and Marketplace Radio.

Steve has spent about 3 decades fighting government’s efforts to curb progress. Steve has a passion for tech because it has proven time and time again, to makes our lives better. Think Uber, Expedia, AirBnb, PayPal and Amazon.

Steve founded Financial Dynamics, an IT consulting firm in the 90’s -- he grew the firm to over $20 million in revenues by 1997 (Steve continues to advise and invest in early-stage companies as a partner in venture capital funds.) But he was pulled into policy when saw how Anti-Trust and other regulations were being used to crush competition and protect the status quo. One great example is DOJ vs. National Association of Realtors (NAR), which tried to block competition like eRealty.com from empowering individuals to manage their own home-buying process. (this is similar to the way Expedia and Travelocity has eliminated travel agents).
