Mission
VO was founded with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between robust digital identity technology (Verifiable Credentials) and enterprise-specific requirements.
Our Story
The idea originated from the experience of Richard Mallam, the founder and CEO of VO, when leading Payments and Identities at Google, where he saw first-hand the challenge of tying offline identity to online identity.
Recognising the power of Verifiable Credentials to solve the challenge faced in today's cybersecurity environment, VO has built a platform that brings all the technological benefits of secure identity technology, without the headaches that organisations typically experience. VO’s goal is to make secure, verified identity an enabler of organisations, rather than a hurdle.
