Sarah Clark: Mastercard’s ID Network
In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Clark, SVP of Digital Identity at Mastercard, to discuss Mastercard’s ID network.
As one of the world’s largest payments networks, Mastercard has been on the leading edge of reusable identity. Sarah takes us into Mastercard’s corporate strategy related to identity, plus some of the specific go-to-market strategies the company has employed in Australia and Brazil where its network is live.
The conversation continues as Sarah explains why now is the time for reusable identity to take off. We discuss the challenges relying parties and traditional identity verification companies face with the advent of reusable identity as well as how tech giants like Apple and Google will play a role.
And as always, we end the conversation by delving into why Sarah believes that digital identity is the best place to be if you want to work in the cutting edge of technology.
