Dan Kelleher, Seasoned Finance Executive, Joins IDScan.net Team

IDScan.net, a major provider of ID and identity verification software, is proud to welcome Dan Kelleher to its leadership team as the new Vice President of Operations. With an extensive background in finance and a proven track record of driving operational excellence during a thirty-year career at Hertz, Kelleher's appointment marks a significant milestone in IDScan.net's growth strategy.

“Reducing the business impacts of identity theft and fraud has been a key challenge throughout my career,” said Dan Kelleher, adding “I’m excited to join the other side - an organization leveraging technology to create solutions to reduce fraud. Already in my short time here I have seen firsthand how artificial intelligence, combined with significant investments in engineering, are necessary to combat modern, sophisticated fraud attempts.”

Prior roles of Kelleher

Kelleher began his career as an auditor in public accounting with a focus on banking

Prior to joining Hertz, Kelleher began his career as an auditor in public accounting with a focus on banking, manufacturing, transportation, and retail clients. His Hertz career began as an Assistant Controller and advanced to Controller roles where he partnered with field operations to drive financial performance.

Most recently, he led North America initiatives focused on operating cost efficiencies and process improvement before ending his career with the globally recognized car rental brand in late 2023. 

In his new role, Kelleher will help oversee onboarding and ongoing management of large, commercial accounts using the VeriScan or DIVE products for ID and identity verification. His experience in enterprise organizations makes him an ideal liaison between the IDScan.net team and the revenue, operations, finance, and security teams at large organizations searching for ways to deter bad actors.

Identity verification market

“I have been on the other side; working in a business and looking for solutions to theft and bad debt,” said Dan Kelleher, adding “Businesses should know that there are robust, powerful tools available to ensure your customers are legitimate. I expect a sea change over the coming years, as large, global companies realize an increased need to truly authenticate each customer. The security, operational, and financial benefits are simply too great not to put technologies in place.”

Dan Kelleher is part of a large cohort of new hires at the New Orleans-based technology company, as the technology firm rapidly expands to service the growing identity verification market, expected to reach $30 billion by 2030.
