As COO of ID Analytics, Cook led operations, product development, marketing, and strategy development for the company. Cook was also a member of the executive team that grew Consumer Credit Associates into the fourth largest national credit bureau in the country, before helping to sell that business to FDR (now Innovis). He has held senior management roles with Experian, Early Warning Services, and American Express. With three awarded patents and four patents pending, Cook is a proven innovator in the fields of data breach, fraud, credit risk, compliance, and account management solutions.

In his career of 30+ years in the financial services industry, Cook has developed long-term, trusted relationships across customers, federal regulators, and privacy advocacy groups. Considered an industry expert in data breach, fraud patterns, and identity theft, Cook has also provided Congressional testimony on the potential impact of data breaches.
