NEW SALES LEADERSHIP LEADS JUMIO TO NEW ERA

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 (Bernama) -- Jumio, the leading provider of automated, end-to-end identity proofing, risk assessment and eKYC solutions, has announced the addition of Experian and Trulioo veteran Jon Jones as the company’s new senior vice president of worldwide sales, and the promotion of Simon Winchester to vice president of global account management.

According to a statement, these appointments follow a landmark year for Jumio and are intended to further establish the company as the global leader in the identity space.

A more than 25-year veteran in the fraud and identity space, Jones joins Jumio from Experian, where he most recently served as senior vice president of sales operations, focusing on the company’s fraud and identity, software, analytics and consulting product lines.

Having been president of Trulioo prior to that, Jones will drive Jumio’s global sales strategy.

“I’ve known Jumio for several years, and the strong purpose behind the company has always resonated with me. The whole concept of reducing and removing identity theft and fraud has been with me throughout my career, which is why aligning with Jumio’s mission is so important,” said Jones.

“Jumio is a leader in the identity space, and I look forward to being a part of the company’s next level of growth.”

Meanwhile, Winchester is an industry expert who has worked for the company since 2014 in various enterprise sales leadership roles, and most recently served as Jumio’s vice president of worldwide advanced technologies and, before that, vice president of EMEA sales.

In his new role, his focus is on fostering and growing Jumio’s relationship with its global customer base.

Jumio Chief Executive Officer Robert Prigge said: “Jumio’s global sales organisation is the best in the business, and with Jon, Simon and our sales leaders at the helm, I have no doubt we will continue to do great things with the world’s leading innovators and disruptors.”

Based in Palo Alto, Jumio operates globally with offices in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
