Madrid, Spain

Agnitio, the worldwide leader in voice biometric solutions for the homeland security and forensics markets, is pleased to announce the appointment of Avery Glasser as Chief Technology Officer.
Glasser, who previously held the internal role of Director of Product Strategy, will now lead Agnitio’s research and development efforts to advance the company’s position within the homeland security, forensics and corporate markets.

"We are delighted to have Avery as our CTO. I am confident that Avery’s vast experience in voice biometrics technology will greatly assist in expediting the advancement of our technology and product portfolio" - Emilio Martinez, CEO Agnitio

“Where many biometric modalities have become stagnant, voice biometrics is a world waiting to be explored. As biometric security implementers realize that a singular focus on security is necessary if a deployment is going to be successful, Agnitio stands alone as the only vendor focused solely on text-independent voice that has the triple play: the scientific resources to develop our own core technologies, partnerships with key institutions on next-generation research, and an in-house team with experience in deploying and maintaining massive identification systems.” Avery Glasser – CTO Agnitio.

As CTO, Glasser brings well over a decade’s worth of voice product design and management experience to Agnitio. In previous positions, he has designed voice biometric product offerings for multiple vendors and has devised biometric rollout strategies for a number of European banks. While a research analyst with Opus Research, he was responsible for building a voice biometric practice consisting of independent analysis and real world client consulting. Glasser has extensive experience designing and implementing solutions in both the government and corporate sectors and brings a range of experience and knowledge that is unique in this marketplace.
