Darrell O'Donnell, P.Eng. Technology Advisor & Coach | Consultant

Welcome

I do a few things – I’m an investor, an entrepreneur focused in on teams that are solving digital identity, particularly Self Sovereign Identity.

What the heck does that mean?

And I help companies and organizations integrate self sovereign identity into their business.
