Blockchain startup Civic has hired former Apple executive Philip Shoemaker as chief executive of Identity.com. Shoemaker will be responsible for the growth and development of this blockchain platform, the company said.
“Philip's blockchain knowledge and experience building back-end infrastructure will help guide Identity.com through its most pivotal time of deployment and growth,” said Jonathan Smith, CTO and co-founder of Civic.
Shoemaker spent seven years as executive director of App Store Review, where he grew the team from four to 300 people. After leaving the tech giant, he worked for several years as an advisor to blockchain startups.
Identity is our society's biggest unsolved problem, and blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize how we prove and verify identity. Creating a robust, open-source identity ecosystem that everyone can participate in is a key part of making digital identity accessible and functional in our modern world.
Civic raised $33 million through an initial coin offering last year as part of its efforts to build out its decentralized infrastructure to allow third parties to conduct full identification of individuals.
