Nils Zenker

Nils is a Digital Identity Specialist at Bare.ID, working closely with enterprise and mid-market clients across regulated industries including Public Sector, Finance, Healthcare, E-Commerce, Manufacturing, and Software.

He advises organizations on how to build resilient IAM foundations that combine security with simplicity, helping tens of thousands of digital identities stay protected across complex and growing technology stacks. Through his work, millions of internal and external user profiles have gained the security they need, without adding friction for the people behind them.

A core theme in his client work is digital sovereignty: the belief that Germany has the technology and expertise to implement IAM in a way that is not only compliant, but genuinely autonomous. Done right, IAM becomes more than infrastructure. It gives admins control, employees peace of mind, and organizations the freedom to operate securely and independently.

His talk at EIC 2026 challenges the industry to move beyond sovereignty as a marketing phrase and treat Digital Identity for what it truly is: the power center of the modern digital organization.
