VANCOUVER, B.C. (PRWEB) April 04, 2018 -- Trulioo, the leading global identity verification provider, is delighted to announce that its CEO and founder, Stephen Ufford, has been named Industry Leader of the Year at the KNOW Identity Conference 2018, hosted by OWI.
The Industry Leader of the Year award is presented to the person who made the greatest impact on the identity community through academic, business or thought-leadership contributions.
In its second year, the KNOW Identity Conference provided a forum for industry experts across all industries to be at the nexus of ideas and policies that will fundamentally change identity around the world. Attendees dove into critical topics such as government policy, blockchain, cybersecurity, identity access management, trust and safety, fraud prevention and identity verification.
“I am truly honored and humbled to be recognized among such a distinguished group of innovators and leaders in the identity space,” said Stephen Ufford, CEO of Trulioo. “By bringing together changemakers and influencers, the KNOW Identity Conference is fostering an environment in which we can work together to solve today’s identity challenges – and the challenges of the future.”
The three-day event was held in Washington D.C. with a lineup of more than 200 notable speakers, including Nick Shapiro, Global Head of Trust and Risk Management at Airbnb, Chairman of Digital Money Forum and Digital Identity Forum David Birch, Chairman of the Open Identity Exchange (OIX) Don Thibeau, entrepreneur and author Scott Galloway, and many more.
“Over the past year, Stephen has effectively leveled up the entire community through his thought leadership and business contributions, specifically in mobile identity and KYB compliance,” said Travis Jarae, founder and CEO of OWI.
Last week, OWI announced that the KNOW Identity conference will be held in two separate locations – Las Vegas in the spring, and Washington D.C. in the fall.
