In his previous role as president of international operations, the company highlighted Tryfon has been instrumental in driving Authenticom’s global expansion and leading business transformation, revitalizing the company’s operations and culture.

Building on this momentum, the company said Tryfon’s promotion to global CEO is a natural progression, positioning him to accelerate international expansion, scale innovation, and amplify the strategies that have fueled Authenticom’s recent success.

“I’m beyond excited to step into this role,” Tryfon said in a news release. “Authenticom has an incredible foundation, and the timing couldn’t be better to accelerate our global impact. My focus is simple: scale faster, innovate smarter, grow our lines of business, and continue enhancing the customer experience.

“I’m grateful to Authenticom founder and now executive chairman, Steve Cottrell, for his trust and partnership, and I look forward to working with our amazing team to drive results while keeping people at the center of everything we do,” Tryfon continued.

United under the Authenticom Group of Companies, the company said its platforms form a trusted foundation for the industry, driving innovation, enabling growth, and ensuring the secure movement of data at scale.

With the promotion, Steve Cottrell said, “Jason has proven himself as a key driver of our transformation and growth. His energy, vision, and award-winning leadership style are exactly what Authenticom needs as we take on this next stage.”
