August 16, 2013 – Peter B. Counter
Iris-based authentication solutions provider EyeLock Inc. has announced the recruitment for two new executives in what appears to be an aggressive posturing for the second half of 2013. Yesterday Michael Fiorito was appointed as vice president of enterprise accounts, and today Roger An was named vice president of global market development. These additions to the EyeLock corporate team have been made explicitly to further Eyelock’s presence in the United States and facilitate the company’s expansion into Asia respectively.
As the new vice president of enterprise accounts, it will be Michael Fiorito’s responsibility to manage all related EyeLock clients with a focus on spearheading business development efforts in order to better penetrate the US markets. Fiorito joins the iris biometrics company with over 13 years of marketing experience, managing Stanley Black & Decker national and international accounts for the past ten.
Roger An, whose previous work includes over 15 years of multinational experience with South Korean petrochemical and telecommunications conglomerate SK Group, will be heading international expansion initiatives, heavily focused on Asia.
“Mr. An’s experience as a multi-faceted strategic planner and transactional professional make him an ideal person to help lead EyeLock into this next phase of growth,” endorsed EyeLock CEO Jim Demitrieus.
According to Demitrieus, iris-based solutions are the safest, most secure and easiest to use of the biometric security options currently benefiting from a boom of demand. Although the market is currently benefiting from a surge in fingerprint biometrics interest, large scale security initiatives like Winthrop University’s EagleEye Stations certainly show that eye scanning authentication is an accurate and easy to implement no-touch solution that should not be discounted. EyeLock is planning to capitalize on what it expects to be a phase of growth, and this week’s hiring is a step in that direction.
