Catharina Eklof Appointed CEO of Idex Biometrics

Catharina Eklof has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Idex Biometrics, following a successful three-year period as the company’s Chief Commercial Officer. During her tenure, Eklof played a pivotal role in transforming Idex from a component supplier into a prominent provider of biometric solutions.

Prior to joining Idex, Eklof spent nearly 12 years at Mastercard, where she held several Senior Vice President roles.

Morten Opstad, chairman of the board at Idex Biometrics, expressed his confidence in Eklof’s appointment, noting that her leadership, combined with her expertise in payments and cybersecurity, makes her the ideal candidate to guide the company into the future.

In addition to her new role, Eklof has previously written about the potential benefits of biometric payment cards for financial inclusion, which she highlighted in a guest post for Biometric Update last September.
