Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Jordan is an experienced public-sector technology leader who has spent nine-plus years guiding digital transformation and trust initiatives, currently serving as Executive Director of the BC Digital Trust Service. He blends deep technical roots—from early networking and research roles at Alcatel to building cloud-native identity prototypes for federal-provincial interoperability—with strategic program leadership across government. As founder and former Executive Director of the Trust Over IP Foundation, he champions open standards for a trustworthy internet and drives practical adoption of decentralized identity and privacy-preserving architectures. His work is informed by a design-thinking, user-centered approach to service delivery that prioritizes accessibility and real-world interoperability across jurisdictions. A spinal cord injury in 2020 reframed his advocacy for accessibility, giving him a lived perspective that shapes inclusive technology policy and delivery. Based in Victoria, BC, he pairs academic grounding in management of technology with a track record of translating complex distributed technologies into usable, trustworthy public services.
