Meet the Access Smart Team

Dovell Bonnett, Founder and CEO

Dovell Bonnett has been creating security solutions for computer users for over 20 years. In order to provide these solutions to consumers as directly, and quickly, as possible, he founded Access Smart. With each of his innovations, the end user — the person sitting in front of a computer — is his No. 1 customer.

This passion, as he puts it, to “empower people to manage digital information in the digital age” also led him to write the popular Online Identity Theft Protection for Dummies. Within the pervasive nature of our e-commerce and e-business community, personal information, from credit card numbers to your pet’s name, is more easily accessed, and identity theft and fraud has become an issue that touches every consumer.

Mr. Bonnett’s solutions reduce security risks for individual users, small businesses and large corporations. His professional experience spans 21 years in engineering, product development, sales and marketing, with more than 15 years focused specifically on smartcard technology, systems and applications. Mr. Bonnett has spent most of his smartcard career translating and integrating technology components into end-user solutions designed to solve business security needs and incorporating multi-applications onto a single credential using both contactless and contact smartcards. He has held positions at National Semiconductor, Siemens (Infineon), Certicom, Motorola and HID. He is the author of smartcard articles, regularly presents at conferences, and helps companies successfully implement smartcard projects. Mr. Bonnett has been an active member of the Smart Card Alliance contributing to the development of physical access security white papers. He holds dual bachelor’s degrees in industrial and electrical engineering from San Jose State University.

Marguerite Bonnett, Executive Vice President

Marguerite Bonnett’s success has allowed her to focus on projects she truly believes in, and working with consumers — from small-business start-ups to Fortune 500 companies — to reduce the incidence of identity theft and fraud is an issue she has championed for the last several years. Having worked within the industry from its first days, she’s helped the e-commerce sector grow and has kept her finger on the pulse of both its triumphs and failures

Chief among the failures is the security risks for the end user, a problem that Access Smart created solutions for, and Ms. Bonnett continues to share this information with consumers as widely and quickly as possible. She has more than 10 years experience in Silicon Valley high-tech marketing covering several industries from semiconductors to back-end Wall Street data services. As a marketing professional, Ms. Bonnett has managed Web site development for start up firms, ongoing collateral including brochures, training seminars, direct mail, customer support and trade shows. She has significant experience in art and design, including work on several feature films in addition to screenwriting.
