SKYSCANNER co-founder Gareth Williams has acquired an undisclosed stake in cyber security firm My1Login as part of a £1.3 million injection into the business from a consortium of private and public sector investors.
My1Login, which has a development centre in Glasgow, is a technology company that offers solutions to what is known as the identity and access management.
Mr Williams, chief executive of Skyscanner, said: “My1Login is perfectly placed to be the European leader in identity and access management and I’m excited to be involved in the next stage of their growth”.
Mike Newman, chief executive of My1Login added: “I have long admired Skyscanner as a company and Gareth as a role model for building a hugely-successful global technology business.
“We feel honoured to attract investment from the co-founder of one of Scotland’s unicorn companies.”
Among My1Login 1,000 customers is Scottish Water Business Stream. In addition, Salesforce – the global leader in customer relationship management software – has become a strategic partner of My1Login.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
