Harvard MBA, former agency officer, co-founder of FireDrop/Zaplet; known to Hare from PC Forum
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
David Roberts co-founded FireDrop — later Zaplet — with Brian Axe; the supplied public record adds a Harvard MBA and a prior career as a high-ranking CIA officer who managed the agency's spy-satellite system. Jonathan Hare knew him from meeting a few times at PC Forum, and the record holds him at that distance: a founder of the well-financed lookalike, met on the circuit where everyone met everyone.
