Ian Rogers is the Chief Human Agency Officer at Ledger, the digital asset security company known for its hardware cryptocurrency wallets. He previously served as Ledger's Chief Experience Officer since 2020, where he helped transition the company from a developer-focused organization toward a consumer-facing brand. Earlier in his career, Rogers held leadership roles in digital music, including running Yahoo Music and serving as a founding executive at Beats Music before its acquisition by Apple, and later worked as Group Chief Digital Officer at LVMH. In his current role, he focuses on ensuring human oversight and authorization remain central as AI agents gain the ability to act autonomously on behalf of users in financial and identity-related transactions.
“When I came here to Ledger and I told Tony Fidel, 'I'm going to go run the consumer business at Ledger.' And he said, 'There is no consumer business. That's not B to C, it's B to G, business to geek. And your job is to build a consumer business.'”
