Palo Alto (PRWEB) April 21, 2016 -- IdentityMind Global, the pioneer in trusted digital identities for ecommerce, today announced the appointments of Reginald Hyde and Kyle L. Miller to the company’s Board of Advisors. Hyde and Miller join a team of experienced business and technology leaders who will work with IdentityMind Global president and CEO, Garrett Gafke to guide the company’s security capabilities and business strategy.
IdentityMind Global president and CEO, Garrett Gafke said, “We are very pleased to welcome Reg and Kyle to our advisory board. Each brings a unique and deep expertise across security, technology, finance and corporate development that will help guide and shape our strategy as we achieve global leadership in the protection of online commerce and financial transactions.”
Mr. Hyde brings decades of national security career experience having worked in senior positions at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and within the broader U.S. intelligence community. Mr. Hyde is currently the Executive Director of the University of Alabama Cyber Institute.

Mr. Hyde holds a Master’s in Public Policy from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, a Juris Doctor from the University of Alabama School of Law, and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama.
“IdentityMind’s offering is well-timed with the rapid increase in demand for trusted digital identities that enable ecommerce, online lending and secure payment ecosystems that must accurately determine identities in real time to ensure frictionless commerce while avoiding fraud, money laundering and identity theft,” said Reginald Hyde.
Mr. Miller is the founder and managing member of 1728 Advisory Group LLC, a Greenwich, Connecticut-based private investment and strategic advisory firm.

Under his leadership, Mr. Miller turned Hudson Castle into an industry leader in providing debt funding advice and solutions to the premier universal commercial and investment banks in the U.S and Europe. Under his leadership, Hudson Castle’s portfolio of assets under administration scaled to $38 billion within five years of Mr. Miller joining the firm. Mr. Miller arranged for the sale of Hudson Castle’s strategic assets in 2011.
Mr. Miller holds an MBA in Finance and Accounting from Columbia University School of Business, and he is a graduate of Dickinson College where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Economics.
Kyle Miller added, “I believe the market will shift toward IdentityMind’s approach to electronic DNA as financial institutions, currency exchanges and merchants look for ways to differentiate their products among consumers in ways that ensure trust, compliance and ease of doing business. I’m excited to collaborate with Garrett and his team and support IdentityMind as they work to build a great company in an exciting category.”
