Episode 32: Inside the Fight Against Government Fraud with Jordan Burris
Behind every government service is a simple question: how do you make access easier for the right people while keeping bad actors out?
In this episode of Careers & Coffee Talk, I sit down with Jordan Burris, Head of Public Sector at Socure and former Chief of Staff in the White House Office of the Federal CIO, to discuss digital identity, fraud prevention, public trust, and the future of government services. Jordan shares his career journey from government service to the private sector, lessons learned from leading technology modernization efforts, and why identity verification sits at the center of so many challenges facing government today.
