Mike Liberty is the Co-founder and Chief Risk Officer at Signifyd, where he oversees risk operations and strategy and data science. In 2011, he co-founded Signifyd with CEO Raj Ramanand. The co-founders were inspired by the belief that online merchants were at an unfair disadvantage when it came to the requirement that they accept liability for credit card fraud. That’s not the case for in-person payments at brick-and-mortar stores.
Before Signifyd, Liberty was the manager of new ventures risk at PayPal, where he led all fraud and risk management initiatives for digital goods. Prior to joining PayPal, Liberty worked at GWC Warranty, where he was director of business development and then chief operating officer. Before GWC, he was an associate at CIVIC Partners and an analyst at JPMorgan. In all, he has spent more than 20 years in the finance and risk fields.
Liberty, a former professional blackjack player, interrupted his leadership roles at Signifyd in 2023 to run for the New Hampshire Executive Council. He holds an MBA from Stanford University and a bachelor’s of economics from the University of Chicago.
