Aware Inc., a leading provider of biometric authentication solutions, has announced the appointment of Ajay Amlani as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective February 4, 2025. The selection marks a strategic move as the company positions itself for its next growth phase, following significant expansion of its Knomi biometric platform and recent acquisitions in the biometric authentication space.
Amlani brings significant experience from both government service and private sector leadership roles to his new position at Aware. His diverse background spans the security and technology sectors, providing him with comprehensive industry knowledge relevant to Aware’s biometric authentication focus. He will succeed Bob Eckel, who has overseen several key initiatives including the company’s acquisition of the AFIX product line from Maxar Technologies.
The appointment comes as Aware continues to develop and expand its portfolio of biometric solutions.

The platform recently passed Level 2 iBeta testing, demonstrating its robust security capabilities for face and voice biometric authentication.
In recent years, the biometric authentication sector has seen substantial growth, driven by increasing demand for secure identity verification solutions across government, enterprise, and consumer applications. Aware has positioned itself in this expanding market through its development of fingerprint, face, and iris recognition technologies, with particular success in mobile authentication solutions that support emerging applications like connected cars.
The leadership change supports Aware’s strategic objectives to enhance its market position and accelerate innovation in biometric authentication technology. The company continues to serve various sectors, including government agencies, financial institutions, and enterprise customers requiring robust identity verification solutions, while expanding its subscription-based services and cloud deployment options.
