Pedro Torres

With many years of experience in technology, innovation and product design, from large telco companies to medium- size companies and start-ups, and a strong research background, Pedro Torres has worked for the last seven years in global executive positions in customer experiences based on biometrics to enable immersive and seamless journeys. A strong believer in decentralised self-sovereign approaches to privacy, Pedro has been leading efforts to provide the necessary protection and control to users as they authenticate for convenience with their face in multiple services such as proving identity to create a bank account, automatically checking-in to hotels, picking up car rentals or pay for goods and use loyalty in a fully contactless on-the-move fashion. Pedro has recently co-founded Youverse to disrupt the world of private authentication.
