India’s first Decentralised Identity and access management Infrastructure , Hypersign has named former Goldman Sachs Vice President Michael Swan as its Chief Strategy Officer.
The startup is building a blockchain-powered, Decentralized Identity and access management Solution for the enterprise and consumers alike. It leverages technologies such as public key infrastructure (PKI),blockchain and Machine Learning to provide passwordless authentication, authorization, verification and other security services which integrate within minutes and is compatible with legacy IAM systems at an affordable price-point.
Michael arrives with over a decade of experience spanning both traditional investment banking and blockchain. A specialist in the incubation, launch and commercialization of crypto projects, he holds leadership roles with Unido.us ($UDO), Flourishing.AI ($AI) and runs a Venture Capital firm out of Australia, called Tokenomik Inc.
“Michael brings a wealth of knowledge, industry experience, and network to help the Hypersign team achieve their vision of creating a world where Personal Data Protection and Online Privacy is a fundamental human right. We’re thrilled to have him on board.” noted Irfan Khan, Hypersign’s Founder and CEO.
“I’m absolutely delighted to have joined Hypersign, having first met the founding team well before the launch of $HID.
Everyone is aware of my view that institutional uptake of crypto is dependent on constructs that exist in traditional markets today, which need to be replicated, innovated and re-imagined for a decentralized future. The Hypersign DID solution is the perfect balance of decentralization of ID records and trust that those records are accurate and attested by reputable organizations. There is a strong existing partnership between Hypersign and Unido given these are very much complementary eco-systems.
This is a project with real application and solves a critical problem for institutional uptake of crypto. I’m expecting big things!” said Michael.
Hypersign has recently partnered with other blockchain giants such as Polygon, Reef, Elrond, Harmony and are ready to launch the first ever privacy-focused, gamified whitelisting and user verification solution with integrated token utility on a blockchain network.
