Signicat appoints chief product officer

Pan-European digital identity company Signicat has appointed Emma Bauer as global chief product officer as it continues to scale its cross-border identity platform.

Emma joins the executive team with a background spanning software development and senior product leadership roles, bringing experience in scaling technology platforms in high-growth environments.

In her new role, she will lead Signicat’s product strategy as the business responds to evolving European digital identity regulations including eIDAS 2.0 and the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation.

Emma said: “Digital identity is the foundation of a modern society, but the varying consumer behaviour and impending regulations across Europe create an incredibly intricate puzzle for businesses to solve. 

“Signicat has uniquely positioned itself to solve this by providing a unified platform that manages cross-border transactions. 

“I was drawn to the company’s clear purpose, its transparent and collaborative culture, and its leading market position. 

“This is an exciting scaling phase, and I am thrilled to help shape the future of trust across Europe and beyond.”

Emma’s appointment comes as Signicat continues to expand its Software-as-a-Service platform following a series of strategic acquisitions across Europe.

Asger Hattel, chief executive of Signicat, added: “We are operating a highly sophisticated, innovation-driven one-stop-shop proposition to our customers, solving one of Europe’s biggest challenges: cross-border digital trust. 

“For this, we needed a well-reputed scale-up leader who combined strong CPO experience with unique technical roots. 

“An individual with the ability to push both shorter time-to-market, innovation, and new methods with all the toolkits the AI era has to offer. 

“Beyond Emma’s impressive technical roots and product expertise, there is a very strong cultural match. 

“Her proven ability to empower and manage high-performing, distributed teams across different regions makes her key to taking Signicat to the next level in our scaling journey.”
