Jumio has appointed Mark Lorion as Chief Executive Officer as the identity verification market faces rising pressure from deepfake fraud, agentic AI threats, and expanding global regulation. Lorion succeeds Bala Kumar, who has served as President and interim CEO since the start of 2026 and will continue as President and Chief Product and Technology Officer. Lorion joins from Tempo Software, where he grew annual recurring revenue by nearly 400% and helped move the company from a single-product business into an integrated enterprise software platform.
Lorion brings more than three decades of experience scaling B2B software and cybersecurity companies. Before Tempo, he held leadership roles at Digital.ai, Arxan Technologies, and Apperian. He also serves on the board of cybersecurity company Team Cymru and is co-chair of the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council.
At Jumio, Lorion will lead an AI-powered identity intelligence platform that processes more than one million transactions daily and is supported by the Jumio Identity Graph, which includes tens of millions of known identities. Lorion said the identity market is moving from point-in-time checks toward continuous identity intelligence as companies work to combat more sophisticated fraud.
Jumio’s board cited Lorion’s operating discipline, customer focus, and go-to-market experience as key to the appointment. Co-Chairman Ben Cukier said Lorion has experience taking strong products with untapped market potential and building the commercial motion around them.
