Joe Bloemendaal
Head of Strategy, Mitek Systems
A serial entrepreneur, business leader and ID strategist. Joe has been developing, evangelizing and selling ID&V solutions for close to 15 years. Interestingly, he doesn’t see himself as an industry expert or a thought leader, but rather a passionate, trusted adviser with extensive experience in building verification solutions with both small and large enterprises, and, with that comes some idea of what to do and what not to do to be successful.
“I believe we can unlock the true potential of global connected economies if we can learn to trust people online like we can in person. To do that, we have to think about our online identity. We need to start using the attributes that provide trust in the real world, in the digital world.”
