Princeton Identity has expanded its business development team with the appointment of two new leaders to bring its iris and face biometrics to new market areas.

Brandon DeCuir is PI’s new vice president of product management and strategic projects, and Hugh Gilenson has been named director of business development, healthcare and life sciences.

“Although traditionally used for safety and security, our biometric solutions are now deployed for much broader needs in the workplace, including time and attendance, visitor management, HR-integration and touchless employee experiences,” says Bobby Varma, CEO. “Brandon and Hugh will help lead our efforts to bring the power of advanced biometric technologies to a range of verticals, and businesses of all sizes.”

DeCuir has more than 20 years of experience helping emerging technology companies reach new markets, according to the announcement, including in a similar VP position in his previous role with React Mobile.

Gilenson likewise has more than 20 years in the healthcare and biometrics fields, most recently with a health information service provider, but also with IrisScan, Visionics, Identix and L-1 Identity Solutions.

Lefebvre has more than 20 years of experience, including with several leading technology companies, and brings expertise in advanced imaging and other screening technologies.

“Having witnessed firsthand the rapid emergence of digital identity technology in the transportation domain, I am excited at the opportunity to manage digital transformation initiatives leveraging Telos’ IDTrust360 platform,” said Lefebvre. “Telos has a sterling reputation as an innovative leader in identity and cybersecurity technologies, and it’s great to be part of the team.”

A biometric background checking service contract Telos has with Philadelphia International Airport was extended earlier this year.

Previously, Steblyna served as VP of Product at global marketplace network OLX Markets, and accumulated more than a decade of product development and strategy experience, according to the announcement.

“The growing concerns around identity theft in our increasingly digital world present a substantial opportunity for Veriff to scale its product offering. Veriff is solving a very significant global issue as protecting personal identity is something that matters to everyone,” comments Steblyna.
