About Us

Marcin Kleczynski

Chief Executive Officer

Marcin Kleczynski wrote the first line of code for what would become Malwarebytes after stubborn malware bypassed his big-name antivirus, hijacking his computer. With the help of a few cyber-savvy superheroes he'd met online, and many hours of his own research, he restored the computer. Marcin then committed to extend the help he'd received to others. He set out to build a more robust cybersecurity product, and incorporated Malwarebytes as a company just a few years later.

Since then, Marcin has served as CEO and overseen the phenomenal growth of Malwarebytes from a one-man band to a company with over 700 employees and offices located across the globe. Today he continues to lead the strategic expansion of the business, and guide the long-term vision for the research and development teams. Marcin is recognized as a foremost authority on malware and frequently presents at cybersecurity conferences. He still believes traditional antivirus does a crappy job.
