Kim Hamilton Duffy - From Learning Machine to DIF and the Evolution of Decentralized Identity
In this episode, I talk with Kim Hamilton Duffy, the Executive Director of the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF). Before her work at DIF, Kim served as the CTO at Learning Machine, an early pioneer in the self-sovereign identity space that was acquired in 2020.
We cover a range of topics, including:
- The early days at Learning Machine and how they acquired their first customers
- The messaging strategies that resonated and the unexpected moves that set them apart, like making it easy for customers to leave
- How adoption exceeded expectations at Learning Machine and how that compares to the current decentralized identity landscape
Kim offers deep insights from her extensive experience in the digital identity ecosystem, making this a conversation you won't want to miss!
You can learn more about DIF on their website: identity.foundation.
