Decorated intelligence and cybersecurity executive with four decades of U.S. government leadership joins Sekur to advise on secure communications strategy for government, diplomatic, and enterprise markets
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / Sekur Private Data, Inc., a Miami based leading Swiss-hosted cybersecurity, private communications, and defense communications company serving enterprise, government, and defense clients, and wholly owned U.S. based subsidiary of Sekur Private Data (OTCQB:SWISF)(CSE:SKUR)(FRA:GDT0) (“Sekur” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce the appointment of Annette L. Redmond to its Strategic Advisory Board. Ms. Redmond brings an extraordinary 40-year career across the U.S. Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense, and the Department of State, where she built and reformed numerous organizations and led intelligence operations, information technology, data management, and system interoperability at the highest levels of government.
Ms. Redmond most recently served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS) for Intelligence Policy and Coordination in the Department of State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) from September 2019 until her retirement in December 2023. In that role she led the development, coordination, and implementation of policy across a broad range of intelligence operations and counterintelligence activities and provided strategic direction to the Department’s support to the Intelligence Community and foreign policy oversight of sensitive intelligence operations.
“We are honored to welcome Annette Redmond to our Strategic Advisory Board,” said Alain Ghiai, Chief Executive Officer of Sekur Private Data “Her unparalleled experience leading secure intelligence operations and information systems at the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and across the Intelligence Community is precisely the expertise that governments, diplomatic officials, and enterprises demand from their communications partners. As we expand our corporate and government offerings, Annette’s insight will be invaluable in guiding our strategy.”
“Throughout my career across the Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense, and the Department of State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining secure, sovereign control over communications was a constant national security imperative,” said Annette L. Redmond. “Governments, diplomatic missions, and the intelligence and foreign policy professionals who serve them require communications they can trust under a single jurisdiction, with rigorous protection of classified and sensitive information. I look forward to bringing that perspective to Sekur and helping advance secure, private communications for the public-sector and diplomatic clients who depend on them most.”
