David Harding is a dynamic and entrepreneurial executive and strategist and with extensive experience in business and technology leadership. He brings industry recognition as a leading expert in SaaS and scalable cloud computing, digital identity, multi-modal biometrics, FinTech, healthcare, privacy, and enterprise cybersecurity. He is recognized for his ability to create business and technology strategies that align with company vision, objectives, and goals, enabling the creation of solutions that support rapidly evolving business needs and drive business success.

David started his professional career at 16 as a software developer, and at 18 was recruited by McDonnell Douglas Aircraft to join their new Artificial Intelligence Center. There he designed and developed AI and expert systems that were used to facilitate manufacturing and maintenance for commercial and military aircraft and the International Space Station.

David became an early Microsoft® Windows® developer.  He worked closely with the company’s internal developer teams, built several commercial products with their developer tools and platforms, and was contracted by Microsoft to create multiple training courses and seminars used to teach third-party developers how to design and create applications for the Windows operating systems and database platforms.  David started his executive career at 26 as a Senior Vice President for ProSoft I-Net Solutions, a publicly traded software and training services company.  He was directly involved in raising capital in public equity and overseeing a national team of engineers and IT professionals.

David has held C-suite & SVP level positions in US and international public and private companies across digital media and entertainment, electronic manufacturing, digital identity, and cyber security.  He’s stood up and managed offices and teams around the globe, including Canada, Europe, Latin America, India, and Asia.

David spent 18 years in digital identity and multi-modal biometrics.  As CTO & SVP of ImageWare Systems Inc.®, a U.S. public company, he pioneered an innovative and industry-changing SaaS turnkey cloud-based product suite that transformed network and cybersecurity, digital identity management, and biometric identity authentication worldwide.  He led international teams in delivery of digital identity solutions for airport security, law enforcement, border control, and enterprise operations with hundreds of millions of identities under management using multiple biometric modalities.  He also led the creation and deployment of biometric smart card solutions for the U.S. Veterans Administration, Canadian TSA, governments of Australia and Mexico, and major Fortune 500 corporations.

When David moved to SVP of Platform Engineering for CLEAR® he refactored their digital identity and biometrics platforms to scale from a few million users to hundreds of millions in support of their airport security, healthcare, and FinTech business units.

Recruited by the President of Input Output to be General Manager and CEO of the Atala business unit, he was tasked with performing a “turnaround” of their lowest performing business unit.  After three years of failing to deliver a working product, he completed and delivered the Atala PRISM product less than 12 months after being hired.  It was unanimously accepted into the Hyperledger Foundation where it was renamed Identus and is still managed. 

David is also a partner at North Pacific Ventures where he advises on Seed and Series A investment in technology startups in cybersecurity, SaaS platforms and APIs, generative AI, and fintech. 

As an inventor and innovator, David holds multiple patents in digital identity, biometrics, security, and privacy.  As an executive and business leader, he has worked with boards and C-suites to lead companies, raise millions in public and private equity, deliver impactful products and services, and increase shareholder value.
