Big news from Socure! They’ve just promoted Matthew Thompson to President and Chief Commercial Officer. This guy is stepping up his game to help take Socure’s digital identity and risk platform to a whole new level, both globally and within the public sector. It’s like they’re planting their flag in the digital identity world—and they’re not kidding around!
So who’s this Matthew Thompson, you ask?
He’s been at Socure for a hot minute—over four years, to be exact. Before this gig, he was all about helping government agencies get their identity verification on point. Think of him as the dude who made sure that programs were more on the up and up. He’s also got some serious street cred prior to Socure, having held senior roles at IDEMIA and even Capital One. Let’s not forget his military background; this guy served in the U.S. Army for 11 years, so you know he’s got discipline and leadership skills down to a science.
Fun fact: Thompson’s got a knack for innovation, holding three patents related to identity tech. That’s right—he’s not just talking the talk; he’s walked the walk. He co-founded ID.me, led identity services at Capital One, and even worked with big names like Goldman Sachs and McKinsey. Impressive, right?
With his new role, Thompson is geared up to oversee Socure’s ambitious plans to dominate the market. Their numbers are looking fierce—51% year-over-year revenue growth and a projected booking blitz of over $100 million this year. Talk about hitting the ground running!
As he carves out a future where good old trust becomes the backbone of the digital economy, Thompson’s rallying cry is clear: it’s all about building a robust platform to tackle threats from all corners of the internet, including those sneaky deepfakes and such. It’s a wild world out there, and he’s making sure Socure is ready for it.
To wrap it all up, this pivot to Thompson at Socure is not just a promotion; it’s like bringing in a secret weapon for a major play. And let’s face it, in a time where digital identity challenges are everywhere, having a guy like Thompson steering the ship feels like a solid bet. So, buckle up, folks!
