Oslo, Norway – 17 April 2023 – The nominations committee for IDEX Biometrics has selected current Board member and Deputy Chair Larry Ciaccia as the company’s next Chairman, pending shareholder approval at the IDEX Annual General Meeting on May 23. Larry replaces Morten Opstad, who will remain on the board.

Larry has served as Board Director since May 2015 and was appointed Deputy Chair in May of 2019. He has broad expertise from the semiconductor industry and played a pivotal role in transforming AuthenTec from a start-up into the world’s leading fingerprint sensor supplier.

“I believe IDEX Biometrics is uniquely positioned to address the growing market for biometrically enabled smart cards. I’m excited to serve as Chairman and I look forward to working with Vince and his team at this pivotal time of market acceleration,” comments Mr. Ciaccia. 

Vince Graziani, CEO of IDEX Biometrics says, “Larry’s experience in bringing fingerprint biometric technology to mainstream consumer electronic markets will be instrumental as we drive wide-scale adoption of fingerprint biometric smart cards for payments and digital authentication.
