San Francisco, California, United States, August 2025 — Jesse Franklin has been appointed Chief Financial Officer at Incode, where he will oversee financial strategy, capital allocation, and growth planning as the company scales its AI-driven identity verification platform globally.
Franklin has been with Incode for nearly five years and most recently served as EVP Finance and Special Projects, where he led mission-critical initiatives across finance, operations, and enterprise expansion. Prior to that, he was SVP US and Canada, playing a key role in driving regional growth and enterprise partnerships as Incode broadened its client footprint across sectors.
