Voices from the Front
- Governor Larry Hogan: “Being part of iProov’s journey here is like adding another superhero to our cybersecurity league. Maryland’s talent pool, proximity to federal agencies, and buzzing tech scene make this the perfect launchpad. Excited to welcome them!”
- Andrew Bud (Founder & CEO): “Our new headquarters sits smack in the middle of Maryland’s tech riches. With government customers close by and a thriving cyber community at bwtech@UMBC, we’re poised for rapid growth. The new exec hires are the fuel for our next leap.”
- Joe Palmer (President, U.S. Office): “Choosing Maryland was a no‑brainer. It’s a hotbed for cyber talent and a gateway to the nation’s most sophisticated customers. We’ll keep working hard to safeguard U.S. citizens from threats like deepfakes and beyond.”
- Liz Truss (UK Secretary of State for International Trade): “Cybersecurity is a global game, and UK firms are leading the pack. iProov’s U.S. expansion demonstrates the world’s hunger for UK innovation. Proud our department helped scale them up as we pave the way for future trade deals.”
From UK to U.S.: A Tale of Mutual Boost
Back in 2017, Governor Hogan met with iProov on an economic mission to the UK, witnessing a Memorandum of Understanding that shone a light on cross‑border cybersecurity collaboration. That pact paved the way for iProov’s Maryland debut.
Fast forward to 2019, founder Andrew Bud was honored as a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for advancing science and tech exports—a testament to iProov’s global impact.
