Mathieu Glaude, founder and CEO of Northern Block, said, “Khalid is a pioneer in self-sovereign identity, having led digital transformation projects for organizations such as Red Cross, UNDP and The Turkish Government. With Khalid onboard, Northern Block will continue growing the global footprint of our no-code SSI products’’.

Tykn, an award-winning startup developing digital identity tools for impact and its innovative technology, allows organizations to issue cryptographically tamper-proof credentials which are verifiable anywhere, at any time.
