artius.iD, the pioneer in secure, self-managed identity and decentralized ID management, has appointed the founder of Docusign, Court Lorenzini, to its Board of Strategic Advisors.
The appointment comes as artius.iD continues to tap into the growing demand for sophisticated ID solutions to protect against complex AI-enabled threats.
New global standard for how trust
Lorenzini is an entrepreneur, investor, and advisor with more than three decades of experience founding and scaling high-growth tech companies. He co-founded Docusign in 2003, the pioneer of e-signatures – which set a new global standard for how trust, transactions, and agreements are managed in a digital world.
Prior to Docusign, Lorenzini founded and led multiple successful ventures, including Point.com and NetUPDATE, a fintech platform focused on secure online payment systems.
Lorenzini’s appointment
News of Lorenzini’s appointment follows a series of strategic partnerships announced by artius.iD over the summer, as the firm continues to build momentum in the ID management space.
It partnered with real estate investment platform Tirios in August and with consumer brand distribution leader Pod Foods a month earlier, expanding its footprint in sectors where trust and data security are critical.
Emerging AI and SaaS ventures
Lorenzini is an active venture investor and board advisor with a broad portfolio that spans technology, venture capital, and philanthropy. His experience as an advisor includes organizations such as the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee Foundation, and several emerging AI and SaaS ventures.
He joins a distinguished board of C-suite executives and advisors from across technology, finance, and the public sector, including Lieutenant General (Ret.) Ross Coffman of the U.S. Army; Stefan Krause, former CFO of BMW Group and Deutsche Bank; and Burton M. Goldfield, former CEO and President of TriNet.
How people think about trust online
Michael Marcotte, founder, Chairman, and CEO of artius.iD, said: “Court has a real track record of building and scaling category-defining companies. He helped transform how people think about trust online and brings a wealth of experience that will be hugely valuable as we continue to scale.”
“His ability to make complex trust technologies usable and scalable for mainstream markets will be a huge asset as we strive to meet rising demand for sophisticated digital ID solutions in an increasingly complex security landscape.”
How to make trust digital and scalable
Court Lorenzini, Strategic Board Advisor at artius.iD, added: “Trust underpins everything we do online. More so now than ever before, as AI-enabled cyberthreats become more prolific, and deepfakes become increasingly sophisticated.”
“I’ve spent my career focused on how to make trust digital and scalable – and I’m genuinely impressed by the approach that artius.iD is taking. Their work in decentralized identity management is setting a new standard, and I’m looking forward to working closely with Michael and the team as they continue to chart a bold, new path in the digital identity space.”
