Newest FaceTec Exec Brings Legal, Business Acumen

Trevor Chaplick has officially joined FaceTec’s executive leadership team. After helping the company for years as the company’s outside counsel, he will now serve as Chief Legal Officer and Executive Vice President for Corporate Development.

It’s a role that will straddle FaceTec’s legal dealings and its strategic business efforts. On the CLO side, Chaplick will bring to bear his extensive experience in corporate law, which includes previous Managing Partner roles with Proskauer, where he headed its Washington, D.C. Corporate and Securities practice, and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati (WSGR) in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. Most recently, Chaplick served as Principal Shareholder and Head of the Corporate and Securities Practice at Greenberg Traurig’s Washington, D.C. office.

At the same time, as EVP for Corporate Development, Chaplick will draw on his many years helping companies to navigate the business world. His work with WSGR in Silicon Valley goes back to the tech boom of the 1990s, and he has helped steer companies through everything from private equity deals to IPOs and M&A transactions.

“Trevor guided us for years as outside counsel, and we are elated to announce he is now a key member of our internal executive team as we expand our global deployment of our 3D Face Verification software,” said FaceTec CEO Kevin Alan Tussy.

For his part, Chaplick called the appointment “a privilege and honor”, emphasizing the caliber of FaceTec’s leadership team – “nothing short of remarkable” – and, importantly, the sophistication of its technology. FaceTec’s biometric software, and particularly its 3D FaceMaps tech, is at the vanguard of face-matching accuracy and the detection of deepfakes and other spoofing attempts.

FaceTec’s confidence in its technology has put the company in the unique position of offering a Spoof Bounty Program that openly invites hackers to try to fool its authentication technology. Initially offering $30,000 in rewards for successful hackers, the bounty now entails a payout of up to $600,000.

“Working with FaceTec is rewarding because its biometric security software prevents fraud and makes the digital world safer for everyone using its solutions,” commented Chaplick. He replaces former CLO Terry Coffing, who has now joined the company’s Board of Directors after retiring.
