Jimmy J.P. is the co-founder and CEO of Tykn. Jimmy is a social entrepreneur, business developer and public speaker currently residing in The Hague, The Netherlands. After having worked as a professional musician in Spain and having started his first company in The Netherlands before the age of 20, Jimmy co-founded the now award-winning digital ID company Tykn.
As an evangelist of data privacy and an early adopter of crypto, Jimmy has spoken about the merits of blockchain and self-sovereign identity at conferences and institutions worldwide since 2017, and has been featured in multiple publications, including The Guardian.
In this conversation, Jimmy and I discuss how his background in crypto led him towards understanding and being excited about decentralized identity for social impact, how he got into SSI by being a founding steward of Sovrin, launching Tykn to help refugees and people that lost their identities, working with the Turkish Government to help issue Work Permit docs to their Syrian Refugee population, user experience design and Tykn’s approach to SSI wallets and enterprise applications.
I very much enjoyed the conversation with Jimmy - I think we could have spent many hours talking about this stuff. Enjoy!
