David Kelts

Professional Accomplishments

David’s goal of bringing high-trust identity into the control of every citizen started in 2013 with two US Government grants that proved that privacy and trust can be created online - and ignited the “selfie” identity verification craze. It expands today into the deployment of Mobile Identity (mDL & mID). David is a Certified Information Privacy Technologist, SOA Architect, Product Leader, and Identity go-to-market Srategist. He has 20 years in Identity, Biometrics, ID Proofing, Physical and Mobile ID Documents and a long background in software engineering and architecture.
