Company Overview
"FireID was incubated by our group some years ago and has subsequently become one of the brightest shining stars in our portfolio, with plans now in place for a global roll out. We are extremely excited about the massively positive reception that it is getting wherever the FireID team go, both locally and internationally, which clearly confirms the demand for a new simple solution to the world's increasingly growing authentication needs.

Management Team
Jenny Dugmore
CEO
With years of experience in the software industry I am able to say with absolute conviction, that FireID is the most exciting product I have had the privilege to present to the market. It is a truly elegant solution to the universal problem – security. It arrives perfectly positioned at a time of global economic turbulence in which both company and individual security is being violated daily.
Jenny has extensive experience in the software industry in senior management positions and has represented companies such as Dimension Data, SPL, Software Futures and Sybase.
Malan Joubert
Founder (currently having fun as the CTO)
FireID is the result of an unlikely marriage between a group of slightly unstable, highly motivated, students and a brilliantly mad entrepreneur with a penchant for super cars. Many sleepless nights and a number of super cars later, what had started as an oddly appealing idea had been turned into a great product by a gargantuan effort from a great number of unsung heroes.
Debbie Visser
Marketing
It is not often one has the privilege of going to work and having fun each day, in a company that gives you the freeness to be passionate and express your opinions through your work. At FireID I have that privilege and enjoy using my 7 years experience doing Marketing in the IT Industry to assist the team in taking the company forward.

Johan Pieters
Development
As an Engineer with an MBL I have spent the last 15 years managing technical projects and people in various environments and have never seen anything quite like FireID. At FireID I have shelved my Gant charts and taken the plunge into the disciplined world of Agile development with a remarkable team of innovative technologists who are absolutely relentless when it comes to delivering value to the business and enhancing the product offering continuously.
Jonas Thulin
Sales Engineering
After a successful 10 year career with Dimension Data, where I was a key contributor to establishing Dimension Data as a leading security solutions provider both locally and globally, FireID was the perfect opportunity to fulfill my aspirations to be part of a startup given my expertise in both security technology and global business development. FireID has a unique offering in the global security market, which I believe will enable us to be the global leader in this space.
