Mitek names new CRO as AI fraud threats mount

Mitek

Mitek Systems has named Aaron Seyler as its new chief revenue officer, a move that brings its go-to-market functions under single leadership.

Seyler takes up the role effective 17 August 2026, with responsibility for steering Mitek’s go-to-market organisation as the firm looks to strengthen its commercial strategy across its identity and fraud prevention business.

He joins Mitek from Vonage, an Ericsson-owned company, where he ran a global go-to-market operation spanning 17 countries. As chief revenue officer at Vonage, he grew an API-driven enterprise software business by working through a worldwide network of partners and channels, an approach that mirrors how Mitek delivers its identity and fraud tools into onboarding, authentication and transaction processes for its clients.

Before Vonage, Seyler headed go-to-market efforts at Telesign, a digital fraud and identity protection firm, where he was instrumental in growing revenue from around $200m to over $600m while also driving the company’s push into international markets.

Mitek Systems positions itself as a global leader in digital identity verification and fraud prevention, working with financial institutions and enterprises to help safeguard customer onboarding and transactions against fraud.

Mitek CEO Edward H. West said, “We are pleased to welcome Aaron to Mitek. Unifying our go-to-market functions under a single CRO creates greater alignment and accountability for growth. Aaron has a strong track record of driving revenue growth at global enterprise software businesses, including in digital identity and fraud, and we believe he is the right leader to drive the next phase of our growth.”

Mitek CRO Aaron Seyler added, “I have spent my career scaling enterprise revenue for software platform businesses, including in digital fraud and identity, and what stands out about Mitek is the trust it has earned with many of the world’s largest institutions, the banks and enterprises where protecting identity and assets is mission critical.

“That trust, together with the technology, data, and services ecosystem beneath it, is difficult to build and difficult to replicate. I am excited to bring our go-to-market teams together and, alongside our partners, help more of these institutions put Mitek’s capabilities to work against the growing threat of digital and AI-driven fraud.”
