Socure, the AI-first platform for digital identity and risk decisioning, has appointed Matthew Thompson as President and Chief Commercial Officer to partner with Founder and CEO Johnny Ayers. Thompson will oversee commercial, public sector, and workforce expansion while accelerating Socure’s global growth and AI-driven innovations. “Matt is a true pioneer and a disciplined, effective leader shaping the future of identity innovation,” said Ayers.
Thompson, a decorated combat veteran and digital identity expert, previously served as Socure’s Chief Revenue Officer, driving 51% year-over-year revenue growth in Q3 and maintaining profitability for ten consecutive months. He has played a pivotal role in integrating Effectiv, the unified identity, fraud, and risk decision engine, and Qlarifi, a real-time BNPL consumer credit database, while leading international expansion.
Thompson’s appointment comes as digital identity becomes central to trust, security, and commerce in AI-driven environments. “Identity has become the foundational infrastructure that powers trust across the modern digital economy,” said Thompson. Socure’s RiskOS platform now processes tens of billions of identity and risk events annually, serving more than 40 market sectors from banking and fintech to gaming and generative AI platforms. With Thompson’s operational experience and leadership, the company aims to deliver faster, more accurate identity and risk decisions, helping enterprises and governments address emerging threats and secure transactions worldwide.
