Aware, Inc. has appointed Brian Krause as its new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), marking a significant addition to the biometric platform company’s executive leadership team.
Krause brings over a decade of experience in biometric and digital identity technology to the NASDAQ-listed company. His extensive background includes leadership positions at prominent industry players such as Incode Technologies, IDEMIA, and NEC Corporation of America.
In his new role, Krause will lead Aware’s global sales organization and spearhead revenue growth initiatives. His responsibilities will focus on expanding the company’s market presence, developing strategic partnerships, and accelerating the adoption of Aware’s biometric solutions across various sectors.
Ajay Amlani, Aware’s recently appointed CEO, emphasized the strategic importance of the appointment. “Brian’s deep industry knowledge and proven track record in driving revenue growth make him an invaluable addition to our leadership team,” he said. “His expertise will be crucial as we continue to innovate and expand our presence in the biometrics market.”
The appointment comes at a crucial time for Aware, as recent company research indicates growing consumer acceptance of biometric authentication, despite ongoing privacy concerns. This market dynamic presents significant opportunities for expansion in both enterprise and consumer sectors.
“Over the past decade, the pandemic has acted as a natural catalyst for biometrics adoption, as consumers began remotely enrolling in day-to-day services like banking,” said Krause. “At the same time, consumers grew more accustomed to the superior convenience and security that only biometrics can provide, and so biometric adoption has only accelerated. I’m excited and eager to bring my experience in scaling company growth to Aware as the market continues to expand.”
