Interview: Alain Meier, Plaid's Head of Identity
Published 3 years, 3 months ago
Description
In this episode, I talk to Alain Meier, the Head of Identity at Plaid. While I imagine most readers/listeners are pretty familiar with Plaid’s core capabilities, the company moved into the identity verification space through its acquisition of Meier’s startup Cognito about a year ago.
We had a chance to talk about:
* Alain’s experiencing starting and selling Cognito
* Use cases for identity verification outside of financial services
* Emerging identity tech, like mobile driver’s licenses
* The potential and challenge of “self-sovereign” and decentralized identity
* and more!
