Rao Join Averon Advisory BoardSAN FRANCISCO, July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Averon today proudly announced two prominent technology industry luminaries, Esther Dyson and K.V. Rao, have joined the Averon Advisory Board. Tech analyst, investor and philanthropist Esther Dyson and entrepreneur and investor K.V. Rao bring impressive insight and credentials to Averon's already stellar Advisory Board. "Averon is working hard to manage the conflicting requirements of privacy, transparency and security in the real world," Dyson said. "I know that cybersecurity is everchanging, and I look forward to figuring out new, robust approaches fast enough to keep us ahead in the game." Dyson, executive founder of Wellville, a health nonprofit, is a well-known tech analyst and angel investor with a bent for thinking beyond the short term. She served as chairman of both the Electronic Frontier Foundation (mid-90s) and ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, 1998–2000). Describing herself as fascinated by new business models, new technologies and new markets both economically and politically, Dyson sits on the boards of companies and organizations that include 23andMe, Luxoft, Wellpass, ExpandED Schools and the Long Now Foundation. In 1996, she wrote the visionary book "Release 2.0: A Design for Living in the Digital Age" on the emerging world of the internet and important issues Averon is now addressing, including privacy, security and anonymity. K.V. Rao, founder of Aviso, was also the co-founder and president of Zuora, a celebrated Silicon Valley unicorn that recently enjoyed a successful IPO. "Our digital lives are fully intertwined with our everyday existence," Rao said, "and our sense of both safety and freedom in digital interactions is crucial. Averon's innovations to seamlessly fortify identity verification is transformative in many ways. Th rockstar team at Averon has created a most elegant solution to one of the defining problems of our times, and I'm honored and delighted to share in their mission." Previously, Rao directed technology development and strategy at WebEx, which was acquired by network giant Cisco. He also worked for SGI. He started his career as the proverbial rocket scientist, developing technology for NASA and General Motors. "Esther Dyson and K.V. Rao are shining examples of what makes the technology industry so great," said Lea Tarnowski, president, COO and co-founder of Averon. "Admired the world over, they have both consistently provided sparks to illuminate their colleagues' vision and achievement of ambitious goals. We are inspired by these two great leaders, and it's a privilege for Averon to count them among our trusted advisors." Averon's other extraordinarily talented Advisory Board members include:
