While at Experian, Leuer also launched ProtectMyID and helped scale the consumer direct business in a variety of roles.

We believe there is significant B2B2C growth potential in this age of creative content, where photographers and consumers are more linked than ever."

Formed in 2021 as an umbrella entity that seamlessly connects professional photographers and photo consumers, Foreground serves as a dynamic marketplace where special moments are documented, memorialized and preserved.
