Greg Kidd

Greg Kidd is a firm believer that one’s identity credentials should be truly portable and owned by individuals themselves rather than corporations or governments. The trade-off between security and privacy can meet the needs of both traditional institutions worried about compliance and risk, but also consumer protection advocates who care about the underserved and underbanked. Greg has acted as an advisor/investor for numerous startups in the exchange space including Ripple, Square, and Twitter through his seed investment firm Hard Yaka. He has served as director at Promontory Financial, senior analyst for payments at The Board of Governor of the Federal Reserve, and Senior Associate at Booz Allen. Greg has founded multiple companies, including Dispatch Management Services Corp, which he took public on the NASDAQ. He is an avid cyclist and has also worked as an instructor/leader for Outward Bound and the National Outdoor Leadership School.
