The OpenID Foundation (OIDF) is thrilled to welcome Mastercard to the Board of Directors as a Sustaining Member. Since joining in 2022 as a Corporate Member, Mastercard has been involved in several OIDF Work Groups. The Foundation welcomes Mastercard as a global technology leader in the payments industry.
“Mastercard have long been leaders in the Identity space and benefit from years of experience building rails that power global payments and collaborating on solutions to address the challenges we now face our industry,” said OIDF’s Executive Director, Gail Hodges. “We are delighted that they have furthered their commitment to the important work of the Foundation during such a transformative time.”
Adam Sommer, VP of Security Standards, will serve as Mastercard’s primary representative on the OIDF board with Mark Andrus, Director, Industry, Policy & Standards Engagement, serving as Adam’s alternate.
Increasingly, governments around the world are positioning Digital Identity and Financial-grade Security at the center of their strategies to grow secure, digital economies. The Foundation is looking forward to many years of continued partnership with Mastercard as we work to build interoperable standards that meet the moment and secure our digital future.
