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?

Digital identity has been one of the most painful and costly things for IT departments to handle. Until very recently, they had to take on the risk of holding your (and my) identity data. But that has changed.

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