Ian Duthie-Ecebs’ Latest Partner

Ecebs are delighted to announce that Ian Duthie has joined forces to work with Ecebs. Ian has spent the last 15 years as a Marketing Manager for Secure Microcontrollers within the chip manufacturing sector and is globally recognized throughout the Smart Card industry.

Ian has seen the Smart Card market grow from its embryonic days in the 1970's while at Motorola when its chip design team developed the world’s first ever microprocessor Smart Card on behalf of Bull-CP8. He joined the Smart Card marketing team in 1992 and has presented the silicon vendor's viewpoint on Markets, Technology and Security, in Smart Card journals and at leading international Smart Card conferences in Africa, Asia, Europe and the USA. The last few years a key focus area for him has been on contactless payment technology.

Commenting on his appointment, Ian stated “Having been involved with Ecebs as a silicon vendor since almost its beginning where our close partnership provided a blue chip client with a dual-branded EMV solution, I am delighted to be invited to join the Ecebs team. The company’s successful experience in the Ticketing sector and its strong background in Financial payment systems, I see great opportunities as these two sectors converge upon contactless technology. Couple this with Ecebs’ very versatile Multefile™ platform, providing ultra-rapid application management and shorter time-to-market, I see a bright future ahead.”
