Jacob Sever is a co-founder of Sumsub, a full-cycle verification and compliance platform founded in 2015. His background in product design, animation, and computer graphics gave him deep insight into digital image manipulation, which led to the creation of Sumsub's original anti-photoshop technology.
Over time, Sumsub pivoted into know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) solutions for regulated industries including iGaming, fintech, and cryptocurrency. The platform now serves as a comprehensive compliance solution for businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions.
As Chief Innovation Officer, Jacob leads innovation initiatives at Sumsub, aligning business strategy with forward-thinking approaches to combat fraud and ensure regulatory compliance. He has worked on compliance projects for over 400 companies across 220+ countries and speaks regularly about KYC/AML trends, regulatory changes, and fraud prevention in the gambling sector.
