Ed Zabar is currently the Founder and CEO of Verif-y. Ed's goal is to provide their users with a unified, independent, and secure environment where they can review, manage, and share their respective authentic journeys with anyone they choose. He strongly believes that building this unique and high-quality environment will benefit both our users as well as the organizations they work or study at, ones they are members of, and the ones they seek to join.
As Ed Zabar's company grows he hope to change an industry that is based on users but always treats them as an afterthought. While Verif-y does this, they hope to become an integral part of the lives and journeys of their users.
Throughout his career Ed was trying to be involved in things he can be passionate about and at times he succeeded. At Verif-y, he is focused on a new journey that can take in all the skills he has gained, built and learned throughout his career and studies, in order to provide true and unique value to everyone who seeks it.
