“We’re excited to join their team and hope to play a critical role in reaching one of Internet.org’s most significant goals: using data more efficiently, so that more people around the world can connect and share," Guy Rosen, Onavo's co-founder and CEO, said. “When the transaction closes, we plan to continue running the Onavo mobile utility apps as a standalone brand. As always, we remain committed to the privacy of people who use our application, and that commitment will not change.”
