Top SchoolTobias Knecht is a founder and CEO with 20+ years of practical experience building anti-abuse and email-security tools that help ISPs, hosting providers, and enterprises detect and stop spam, phishing, and other network abuse. He founded Abusix to operationalize rapid abuse handling at scale, and his products now power abuse desks at some of the world’s largest networks. Tobias combines hands-on product leadership with policy influence as co-chair of RIPE’s Security/Anti-Abuse Working Group and past co-chair roles at M3AAWG and eco, bridging technical operations and industry governance. Based in Karlsruhe, he brings a rare mix of technical coordination, startup-building, and community-driven standards work—plus a long-running commitment to making the internet safer that predates Abusix.
