As the former Associate Vice President for Trust and Identity, Ann’s work has been instrumental in the Trust & Identity ecosystem. This includes evangelizing the adoption of IAM practices, growing the community of IAM practitioners, collaborating with the US government and higher education on identity assurance standards and practices, developing and managing third-party support programs, and expanding services like eduroam, a service that provides secure Wi-Fi access on campuses worldwide.
Ann’s current work specializes in the complex, long-term infrastructure projects that require community buy-in and strong partnerships to succeed.
