Josh Bourne — CEO
I am an expert in the core internet infrastructure ecosystem — the numbers, addresses, and governance that keep the internet running. For more than two decades, I've worked at the intersection of internet names and numbers, policymaking, and cybersecurity. I've advised Fortune 500 companies, policymakers, and global organizations; testified before Congress; been cited in leading press outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and CNBC; and built businesses that define the modern marketplace for internet infrastructure. As Founder and President of Kalorama Group, I lead the fastest-growing privately held company in Washington, D.C. (Inc. 5000, 2025; 4,361% growth). Kalorama is the leading broker of IPv4 addresses, an essential part of how the internet operates. Before starting Kalorama, I co-founded FairWinds Partners, a pioneering firm that advises some of the world's best-known brands on domain name strategy. Along the way, I launched DigitalDNA, which specializes in domain name and website transactions. What ties my ventures together is a commitment to helping organizations navigate and thrive in the technical and policy infrastructure that keeps the internet running. I am energized by creative problem-solving — whether guiding executives through the complexities of online identity, developing strategies for protecting brands, or shaping conversations on cybersecurity and consumer protection. At my core, I am an entrepreneur — an inventor, risk-taker, and builder. And I'm excited to help build the next generation of the internet.
