Welcome to the summer edition of our quarterly newsletter. Learn about the latest industry trends and news from Daon.

| View in browser Dear Friend,   Welcome to our D.A.O.N.* newsletter. This summer edition is loaded with news, including welcoming Daon's new President and first Chief Product Officer, Ralph Rodriguez; Forrester's new report covering everything you need to know about AML for Crypto; VeriFLY's latest developments and wins; several upcoming live events you should add to your calendar; and a variety of new resources to help you get the most from your digital identity investments.   Happy reading!       I wanted to take a moment to express my excitement at the opportunity to join Daon as President and Chief Product Officer (CPO), as announced recently.   Since leaving Facebook in 2019, I've had the unique opportunity to travel the world and meet with over 500 identity companies, their executives, and teams. It was clear to me that Daon had something truly unique in its people, products, and top-tier customers!     Over the last 25 years, I have been a fellow with the longest tenure at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). At the MIT Media Lab and Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology (HST) departments, I helped pioneer research on artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, mobile, neural science, and security technologies. This primary research and innovation motivated me to pursue venture capital and launch five companies, with the last one acquired by Facebook in 2018.     As a subject matter expert (SME) in identity, authentication, and biometrics, I joined Daon and its extraordinary team of seasoned professionals as the company rapidly expands into new markets and verticals. I am honored to be joining them on this vital mission to lead the expansion of Daon as we provide daily peace of mind, trust, and identity verification to millions of users.        Forrester Report: AML for Crypto Forrester's recent report highlights important patterns in cryptocurrency money laundering, dissects how AML-for-crypto solutions work, and offers practical guidance for crypto exchanges seeking KYC/AML processes and tools.
