Proof, the Boston-headquartered provider of remote online notarization and digital identity (formerly known as Notarize), announced that Eric Fleischman has joined the company as chief technology officer (CTO).
Fleischman was previously the CTO of Invitae, and earlier in his career he was the chief architect at DocuSign, where he led the company’s technical strategy and engineering. He also spent a decade at Microsoft working on big-scale identity problems, building systems including MS Account, SkyDrive and Active Directory. Fleishman also serves as a board member at BillingPlatform.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Eric to Proof – not only has he built mission-critical infrastructure that entire industries rely upon at Docusign, but his experience at Microsoft contributed to the foundations of online identity that run the web,” said Pat Kinsel, Proof founder and CEO. “Over years of conversation, we’ve come to realize a shared vision: a signature is so much more than drawing on a dotted line. If eSign digitized the drawn signature and Notarize digitized legal identity, Proof makes the benefits of legal identity instantaneous, ubiquitous, and verifiable. With Eric’s help building this next chapter, in the future every interaction will be signed with Proof, answering the critical question, ‘Can I trust this?’”
