Glenn Gore, CEO, Affinidi · Singapore
Bio current as of October 2026

Glenn Gore has spent over 30 years building the parts of the internet most people never see, from some of the first internet service providers in the 1990s to his role as CTO of Melbourne IT.

Today he is building the trust layer people, businesses, and AI agents urgently need, on open standards. He co-leads the open source project OpenVTC and writes Rust for it himself. He edits the Verifiable Trust Infrastructure, Decentralized Trust Graph Credentials, and Trust Tasks specifications at Trust Over IP, and is an active contributor to open source trust work at the Linux Foundation, where he leads the work with kernel maintainers on Linux ID, a proposal to verify who contributes to the kernel.

Data ownership is where his work at Affinidi began. He has long argued that data trapped in silos should go back to the people and businesses it describes, and be shared only on their terms, using privacy-preserving technology. As CEO of Temasek-founded Affinidi, which he has led from Singapore since 2020, he is extending that conviction to AI, so every agent can prove who it works for and what it may do.

Before Affinidi, he spent over seven years at Amazon Web Services, finishing as Chief Solutions Architect. He still writes code because, in his words, “coding keeps me honest.”
