Haslam started his business experience in the 1990s when he worked on electoral registration projects in Africa for British security printer and identity and passport specialist De La Rue. He has worked with multiple companies in the secure ID document and biometrics industry. Haslam spent seven years at HID Global where he worked on scaling the citizen ID-focused business internationally.

“Rob brings unrivalled ID credential industry expertise knowledge to Tech5, bolstering our mobile biometric-focused domain leadership,” said Machiel van der Harst, CEO and co-founder of Tech5 in a prepared statement. “He has been a particular evangelist of mobile identity from the very beginning, shaping industry thinking on the migration of ID credentials to the smartphone. We believe in our collaboration as one of the important strategic steps to the company’s growth.”
