“I decided to support VETRI because I believe that it has the potential to change the lives of millions of people that are underserved in the current system. Furthermore, I am convinced that the VETRI ITO will set an example in transparency and regulatory compliance, which will increase the wide-spread acceptance of this technology. I am happy to contribute my knowledge and experience to this promising endeavour.”
Sven Stucki, Senior Software Engineer at VETRI, says: “It’s great to have Monique as a member of the team. Her extensive experience with both the technological and societal aspects of digital identity has already produced many valuable insights for VETRI.”
