(BUSINESS WIRE) --
Daon, a global leader in biometric identity technology, today announced
that John Sanders has joined the company’s leadership team as President
of Emerging Markets. Sanders will lead worldwide efforts for market
expansion of Daon’s industry-leading identity platform capabilities.
Over
his 30-year career, Sanders has built a reputation as a driver of
innovation and a trustworthy partner. He has been a key executive at
three start-ups with a track record of success at working closely with
customers, building sales revenue, and developing and deploying
pioneering security technologies. As co-founder of Reveal Imaging
Technologies, he was instrumental in growing the company from a start-up
to an industry leader for security threat detection and screening
solutions until its acquisition by SAIC.
Security
has been Sanders’ primary focus and passion, and it led him to answer
the call to public service. At the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), he held multiple positions including Chief Technology Officer for
the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). In this role, he was a
key member of the team that established and implemented TSA PreCheck,
the agency’s flagship transportation security program. This has resulted
in hundreds of millions of passengers receiving expedited screening at
U.S. airports. Sanders also served as Chief Operating Officer and Acting
Commissioner for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), where he
oversaw 60,000 employees, managed a budget of nearly $15 billion, and
ensured the effective operations of CBP’s mission to protect national
security while promoting economic prosperity.
“We
are delighted to welcome John to Daon as President of Emerging Markets.
John is an accomplished leader and brings a breadth of proven
performance from the private sector and government,” said Tom Grissen,
Daon’s CEO. “Daon is on the forefront of delivering identity solutions
to the world’s most iconic brands, and John’s experience will complement
the team as we continue to expand into new markets.”
“I
believe Daon is well positioned to rapidly grow,” said Sanders. “The
company has a strong team of people, inspired leadership, and proven
technology that holds solutions for a wide range of markets, including
those in which I have deep experience. Two of my fundamental goals are
to find ways to simplify and improve the user experience, while keeping
people and data safe. Working with Daon will give me ample opportunity
to achieve both goals. I am excited to be part of this impressive team.”
Sanders
has been appointed to Daon’s Board of Directors. He is a member of the
Board of Trustees for Anderson University and has been a member of the
Board of Directors for Evolv Technology (a rapidly growing start-up
funded by Bill Gates and two of the world’s leading technology venture
capital firms), OGSystems (a provider of innovative solutions to the
U.S. Intelligence Community), and American Science and Engineering (a
global provider of threat and contraband detection solutions for ports,
borders, military, critical infrastructure, law enforcement, and
aviation).
