Spotlight on Colin Wallis

Colin originally comes from New Zealand and is Authentication Standards Manager, Government Technology Services at the Department of Internal Affairs, New Zealand Government. Colin has been involved in the New Zealand Government’s online IAM Programme since 2004, for which it won the Identity Deployment of the Year (IDDY) Award in 2007. This follows five years in the UK, where Colin worked on the UK eGIF and private sector eBusiness initiatives. Today, Colin holds leadership positions across the consortium space in the area of online Identity. In OASIS, he sits on the Steering Committee of the eGov Member Section, and on the identity-related Technical Committees of Security Services, Customer Information, Identity in the Cloud and Transformational Government.

Colin’s interests are maintaining his property on a 10-acre lot in Wellington and he enjoys a few days skiing each year – a little less now than the months of skiing he had in the 70′s as a member of the New Zealand Ski Team!
We’re proud to have Colin participation and leadership – his knowledge and experience in the identity landscape is appreciated.
