Dr. Timothy Libert, Founder & CEO

Tim built webXray in 2012 as an academic research tool, then spent the next decade proving what it could do. He conducted the first million-site study of third-party tracking on the web, published the first peer-reviewed research on pixel tracking on medical websites - work that opened the door to hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements - and was the first to systematically compare what privacy policies say to what the code on a website actually does. That research was cited in Supreme Court briefs, featured on Good Morning America and All Things Considered, and covered by the New York Times, the BBC, the Financial Times, Wired, and dozens of other outlets. Over 900 peer-reviewed studies now cite his work.

His academic path ran through a PhD at the University of Pennsylvania, a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Oxford, fellowships at the Alexander von Humboldt Institute and Central European University, and a faculty appointment at Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science, where he taught in the Privacy Engineering program and conducted research at CyLab. He then joined Google as a Staff Privacy Engineer, where he wrote the company's internal cookie and web storage policy, built compliance architectures at Google scale, and led an audit of every Google-owned cookie - the largest enterprise cookie audit ever conducted.

In 2023 he left Google to found webXray LLC, commercializing a decade of academic research and two years of Big Tech operations into a platform built for litigation, compliance, and enforcement. There is no one else in the industry who has published the foundational research, built the technology, written the compliance policy at the world's largest internet company, and then turned around to offer that expertise commercially. When courts, regulators, and Fortune 500 privacy teams need the final word on what a website is actually doing, they call Tim.

Jim Moffet, Co-founder & CTO

Jim brings a unique blend of high-growth startup engineering and federal privacy compliance expertise to his role as Co-founder and CTO. He was a founding engineer and product leader at Impactive, a Y Combinator-backed technology platform. Under his product leadership, the platform was white-labeled as the "Vote Joe" app in 2020, serving as the centerpiece of the Biden Campaign's $100 million remote organizing effort during the pandemic. During his tenure, the platform powered over 2,000 campaigns and NGOs, and Jim led the experimental design for the largest-ever randomized controlled trial on digital friend-to-friend voter mobilization. Impactive was acquired by ActBlue in 2025.

Following his startup tenure, Jim transitioned to public service as a principal R&D engineer at 10x, the federal government's public technology venture studio. In this role, he specialized in navigating complex regulatory environments to launch national-scale shared services. As the Director of AI Engineering for USAi.gov, he scaled the federal government's first enterprise AI platform from a prototype to the federal government's principal shared AI services platform in under a year. Jim led the rigorous privacy and cybersecurity compliance process for USAi.gov, securing a FISMA Moderate Authorization to Operate (ATO) for the GSA in less than three months.

Jim's deep expertise in privacy-enhancing technologies extends to the highest levels of national policy. Under the Biden administration, he sat for GSA on the President's Interagency Policy Council on Privacy within the Executive Office of the President, helping to coordinate PETs working group efforts alongside the NSF and NIST. He also served on the US Chief AI Officers' Council, where he co-authored the first Federal Generative AI Playbook.

Jim holds a graduate degree in Technology Design from Harvard University and an undergraduate degree in Computer Science from DePaul University. He was a Fulbright Fellow at Central European University and a Harvard Tech for Social Good Fellow. Jim has guest lectured on federated learning, data privacy, and civic tech at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science and the CyLab Security and Privacy Institute.
