CA Manager at Sectigo
About
Iñigo Barreira is a senior computer engineer with more than 20 years of experience in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), digital identity, and trust services. His career has spanned three complementary areas of the digital trust ecosystem: operating within Trust Service Providers (TSPs), public and private, managing a browser root program, and conducting ETSI and ISO audits. This uncommon breadth of experience gives him an end-to-end understanding of how trust services are designed, operated, governed, assessed, and relied upon.
He has held senior executive and technical leadership positions and has worked extensively at the intersection of technology, operations, compliance, and assurance. His expertise covers eIDAS and standards compliance, certificate authority operations, qualified electronic signatures, certificate lifecycle management, cryptographic technologies and devices, audit readiness, and high-assurance environments.
Since 2006, he has been an active member of the CA/Browser Forum (CABF), where he served as Chair of the Server Certificate Working Group (ServerCert WG) and contributed to requirements and security guidance for publicly trusted TLS certificates. He joined ETSI in 2007 and currently serves as Vice-Chair of the Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures (ESI) Technical Committee. He is also an editor of key ETSI standards, including EN 319 411-1, EN 319 411-2, and EN 319 421.
Iñigo is recognized for combining deep technical expertise with practical experience spanning service delivery, browser governance, conformity assessment, and international standardization.
