Gareth Genner
CEO: Corporate Strategy and Strategic Partnerships
With over 20 years of startup experience in founding, operational and advisory capacities, Gareth provides Trust Stamp with technical, managerial and visionary skills, as well as legal and compliance expertise. Gareth has successfully conceptualized, implemented, scaled and exited multiple businesses including a cloud storage enterprise with 3.2m users, which he sold in 2012 to CX.com, a Tomorrow Ventures company, and Edevate.com which was acquired by a non-profit educational group in 2016. A British lawyer by training, Gareth holds a U.S. LLM in International Taxation & Financial Services.
Andrew Gowasack
President: Chief Evangelist
An economist by training, Andrew began his career in financial services sales and marketing. Gareth and Andrew have been friends for several years and explored a number of ideas before identifying the unparalleled potential of Trust Stamp. Although Trust Stamp is Andrew’s first startup, he has immersed himself in the lean-startup environment by completing incubator programs through Founder’s Space in San Francisco, QC FinTech in Charlotte and NAR REach in Chicago. Each of these programs has provided a different perspective and honed a different set of startup skills.
