Melanie Shapiro Biography

Melanie Shapiro is a serial entrepreneur and technologist recognized as the co-founder and CEO of Tokenize, the company behind the "Token" ring, a biometric wearable device designed to unify and secure personal identity. Token's technology utilizes a proprietary combination of asymmetric cryptography and biometrics to deliver military-grade security. The company developed a biometric, encrypted ring featuring a fingerprint sensor and two-factor authentication, targeting consumers for use in computer logins, mobile payments, transit cards, and other applications. Shapiro has focused her career on advancing digital identity solutions that return control of personal data to individuals, addressing challenges in cybersecurity and authentication.

Shapiro's entrepreneurial experience includes co-founding Digsby, a platform for managing online social identities, which was acquired. Her work with Tokenize marks her continued involvement in tokenization, identity, and payments, following the launch of Case, a bitcoin wallet designed to protect cryptocurrency. Shapiro holds an MBA in marketing and a doctorate in consumer behavior, and has conducted research on community engagement at Microsoft. Her background combines academic research with practical entrepreneurship in the technology and security sectors.

Shapiro has appeared on the TED Talk stage with the Token ring and has spoken at the United Nations, LendIt USA, and Mobile World Congress, addressing topics related to digital identity, cybersecurity, and personal freedom. She advocates for building an experience layer for cryptography that empowers users to control their identity and data, emphasizing identity as a fundamental human right. Shapiro has served on the board of directors for Code to Inspire, a nonprofit supporting coding education for girls and women in Afghanistan, and has worked as a crisis counselor for Crisis Text Line. Through her work, Shapiro addresses the intersection of technology, security, and human behavior, contributing to ongoing discussions about digital security and identity management.
