Exploring Identity in the metaverse with Aaron Painter, Nametag – Podcast Episode 69

In episode 69, Oscar and Aaron discuss identity in the metaverse – including Aaron’s vision for how both people and organisations can prove their identity in the metaverse, and what virtual platforms can do to make their communities safer/more trustworthy. “I’m deeply optimistic that we can create this metaverse environment, or the next generation of the internet or Web 3.0, with a greater sense of authenticity behind people to create safer and more trusted spaces.” Aaron Painter is the CEO of Nametag Inc, the company who invented “Sign in with ID” as a more secure alternative to passwords. He is the former Vice President and General Manager of Microsoft China, Hong Kong, and Brazil as well as best-selling author of LOYAL, where he describes his key to leadership: fostering a culture of listening.
