Meet the team

A founding team built for product, trust and execution.

VeriViva is led by a small founding team, with product strategy, commercial operations, product and integration, and technical architecture split across the people below.

Mission

Help regulated operators know their people can apply the controls that keep others safe, with the judgement kept in human hands.

Operating shape

Product, commercial, integration and technical responsibilities are split clearly, so the platform can move quickly without losing control.
