Seattle: MAY 28,2025: Indicio is delighted to announce that Will Groah has joined the Indicio Board of Directors to help the company chart its expansion as a global leader in decentralized identity technology and biometric authentication.
Will comes to Indicio with considerable experience in defense, national security, and technology, and having successfully built a company from zero to 300 employees with a successful exit. He has extensive experience in nurturing technology startups to sustainability and beyond.
“Will is one of Indicio’s earliest champions,” said Indicio CEO Heather Dahl. “He saw the transformative power of the technology we were building and how it could be deployed across every sector. Just as important, he also saw the strength of the team behind it — and our approach to business and our customers.”
“It’s easy to be carried away by new technology and to have visions,” said Will, “but it’s another thing to carry out technology transformation. That requires sweat, dedication, and really effective teamwork. I could already see decentralized identity as an era-defining technology — it makes the exchange of information, the underlying architecture of the digital world, faster, safer, and more streamlined — and that has a host of benefits. But with Indicio, I saw this vision becoming reality through an extraordinary display of willpower, talent, and ambition. That’s why I couldn’t wait to get onboard to contribute.“
Indicio has the energy of a juggernaut — and this team’s optimism, their astounding speed at problem solving and delivery, their total dedication to customers no matter what timezone — it’s all inspiring. They’ve proven the technology, the business model, and the ability to execute with global partners and customers. And now the market is taking off. At Indicio, it’s afterburner time — and I’m here for it.”
Will is a board member, advisor, and investor to several high-growth healthtech, sportstech, and fintech segments. Current projects include advising the development of a regional hospital system’s innovation division, board and advisor for sports tech management start-ups, and coaching.
“Will is a tremendous asset to Indicio because he brings so much experience with startup technology companies and with our investors,” said Ken Ebert, CTO at Indicio. Every team member has a deep appreciation for his insights, enthusiasm, and support. He is as tireless as we are and continually pushes us to think in novel ways and to formulate new applications and approaches to scale our business.”
“There’s a bigger picture to the technology and solutions Indicio is implementing,” said Will. “It’s one where the world is being unnecessarily taxed by legacy technologies and approaches to identity and data. Taxed in terms of cost, taxed in terms of friction, taxed in terms of frustration. Indicio has created a technology for trust that eliminates this tax, leaving the world in a much better place. Better for business, because it is so much more efficient to act on trusted data. Better for people, because everything is simpler and seamless and more secure, and they have control over their personal data. Everything is trustworthy — provable and proven. I’m honored — along with a stellar team of advisors —to be helping Indicio build this future.”
