Mark Lorion is chief executive of Jumio, the Sunnyvale, California, company whose AI checks IDs and selfies for banks, fintechs and other businesses. He joined in April 2026 after more than three decades growing business software companies, many of them in security.
Security Software
He was president and general manager of Apperian, a mobile app security company, and chief operating officer of Arxan Technologies and of Digital.ai. He is a board director of the threat-intelligence firm Team Cymru and co-chair of the board of the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council, a New England technology industry group.
Growing Tempo
As chief executive of Tempo Software, which makes planning and time-tracking tools for Jira users, he grew annual recurring revenue by nearly 400%. He turned it from a single product into a portfolio of enterprise tools.
Continuous Identity
He succeeded Bala Kumar, who had been president and interim chief executive since the start of 2026 and stayed on as president and chief product and technology officer. Jumio appointed him as fraudsters were turning to generative AI to fake documents and faces. He arrived to find tens of millions of known identities in the Jumio Identity Graph and more than a million transactions a day. "Identity is moving from point-in-time checks to continuous identity intelligence in order to fight fraud and AI-enabled bad actors," he said. In the third quarter of 2026 Jumio rolled out its reusable identity product, selfie.DONE, worldwide and added more than 30 customers. It also hired Matt DeLauro, former president of SEON, as chief revenue officer.
He spent years protecting software from attackers. At Jumio the attackers are trying to pass as people, and his job is to tell them apart.
