organization. Earlier, Sytsma had been Head of Global Sales for the
Software Group at Emulex, a provider of connectivity, monitoring and
management solutions for high-performance networks. He also held senior
sales roles at software companies including iPass, Aveksa, Lumigent

“Our industry-leading behavioral biometrics solution protects banks and
other financial institutions, their clients and their assets, from

these recent additions, BioCatch has a talented and experienced
management team committed to continuing to scale and grow its business.
BioCatch already counts among its clients four of the top five U.K.
