WISeKey Adds to Strategy Committee.

WISeKey, an Internet Trust and Digital Identification Company, announced the appointment of three business figures as members of its Strategy Committee.

According to a release, the committee, chaired by Carlos Moreira, founder of WISeKey, provides advice to the WISeKey board of directors and senior management regarding matters of strategic business development and future revenue growth for WISeKey. The new members originate from a variety of sectors, from Telco's to financial services to IT, which will be of critical importance to drive WISeKey's strategy.

The new members include:

Claude Begle, Director General of SymbioSwiss and former Chairman of Swiss Post. He will cooperate with WISeKey to implement its international expansion strategy, strengthen its links with the postal world and deal with micro remittances activities.

Gary Shainberg, Vice-President, Global Technology and Innovation Support BT, Office of the Chief Scientist, BT. Shainberg is responsible for ensuring BT's Innovation and Technology programs deliver solutions to business problems.

Serge Ferre previously served with Nokia. Prior to that, he worked for Bang and Olufsen as Managing Director and Member of the Group Strategic Committees.

"I am delighted that this group of prestigious leaders accepted my invitation to join our Strategy Committee," said Moreira, founder and CEO of WISeKey. "These leaders bring their extensive experience and knowledge of the business community to WISeKey, and will help us set the right strategy for future growth. Our membership already includes a number of business luminaries and each of them brings vast experience in a variety of businesses from all around the globe. I thank all of our new strategy committee for their willingness to contribute their knowledge and experience to WISeKey."

One of the initial priorities of the strategy committee is to develop business initiatives which will be implemented via WISeKey's existing strategic partners. These individuals are helping the company to identify the direction of global security markets and are providing strategic advice on how the company can most effectively and assist business in the sector.

As WISeKey, recently nominated by the World Economic Forum as a Global Growth Company, expands its business to support enterprises in industries such as Telcos, eHealth, eGovernment, financial services, secure communications and professional services, the advice and guidance from the Strategy Committee will be paramount to helping the company to establish itself in these sectors.

Reporting to the WISeKey board of directors, the Strategy Committee will meet regularly throughout the year to provide advice and recommendations, but will not have any legal or formal responsibilities. These members will join the existing Strategy Committee group, which includes Lenny Shrank, former CEO Swift, Mario Garnero, President of Brasilinvest and Fernando Chico Pardo, CEO Promecap.
