Chief Technology Officer, Entrust
I'm one of the old-timers here at Entrust, coming up on my ninth anniversary. I've had the good fortune to spend that time working with customers and our development team to deliver solutions, acting in product management, marketing and now technology evangelist roles.

I hope that in time, this will provide a forum for the sharing of real-life experiences on the Identity front.
