Rob is the Founder, Chairman and CEO of BioConnect. Since 2003, he has been providing global market leadership in the biometric identity market. From 2003 to 2009 he was Board Member, President and CEO of Bioscrypt Inc. which was successfully sold to L-1 Identity Solutions in 2008. Before Bioscrypt, Rob was instrumental in shaping high growth technology companies as a leader at IBM, Oracle and Siebel Systems. While at Siebel Systems, Rob led a hyper growth business unit from revenue of $1 million to $110 million in less than four years. After leading the sale of Bioscrypt, Rob risked it all to start BioConnect to ‘enable trust in the connected world.’ He felt it was his purpose in life to serve a cause bigger than a company. His founding belief was that the 7 billion people on this planet are better served to provide their rightful identity by being themselves for every transaction life. What happens to your day when you cannot remember your password or have lost your key or card? With his strong business acumen, Rob sees the impact to fraud and operational friction to corporations, financial institutions, healthcare, education and government organizations that would save billions in costs if they simply interacted with people. In 2020, BioConnect was recognized by MaRS Momentum as one of Canada’s promising high growth tech companies to exceed $100 million in sales, and the US Security Industry Association (SIA) awarded BioConnect with the “Top Emerging Technology” for enhanced security for physical access. Today, BioConnect is the trusted physical access authentication platform by over 900 enterprises globally with particular strength in protecting the world’s physical access to data infrastructure. Eight of the top ten Data Center/Collocation companies trust BioConnect. Rob also created BioConnect as a place to unleash the power and potential of millennials. Rob does not believe in the traditional employer/employee model – at BioConnect, employees are called BioConnectors because they are part of a tribe. He has shaped BioConnect into a place where innovation, collaboration and commitment lead to staff’s strongest contribution, an engaged life with the highest business impact and discovery of their rightful self. Rob is a passionate and engaging leader and a strong public speaker with an unrelenting vision. Rob is an active Board Member of other tech companies and believes in giving back to strengthen the overall tech innovation ecosystem. Connect with Rob on LinkedIn or Twitter @RobMDouglas7.
