WISeKey Appoints Rolf Gobet to its Strategic Advisory Committee
WISeKey International Holding Ltd , a leading global
cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company, announced the appointment of Rolf
Gobet to its Strategic Advisory Committee.
Mr. Gobet brings over three decades of
experience in managing complex public-private projects, as he has held several
leadership roles across Europe. As part of HP's EMEA e-government group, which
focuses on providing technological solutions and services to public sector
organizations in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, Mr. Gobet led the
implementation of the world's first internet voting solution, an achievement
made possible through a close collaboration with WISeKey. This initiative set a
global benchmark for digital trust and innovation in democratic processes.
Mr. Gobet also played a key role in the
development of TOSA, the world's first fully electric bus system that charges
on the go without using overhead contact lines. This groundbreaking project was
delivered through a public-private partnership involving major players,
including multinational ABB, a global technology leader in electrification and
automation, acquired by Hitachi in 2022. His ability to bring together
stakeholders from government, industry, and academia has made him a recognized
leader in technology-led transformation.
In
French-speaking Switzerland, Mr. Gobet helped establish clusters of excellence,
including the GAIN cluster, which unites aerospace companies in a collaborative
innovation ecosystem. For more than 10 years, he directed the Office for the
Promotion of Industries and Technologies (OPI), where he supported the economic
development of companies ranging from startups to global enterprises. Mr. Gobet
holds a master's degree from the University of Lausanne.
"We
are honored to welcome Rolf to our Strategic Advisory Committee," said
Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey. "His pioneering achievements,
deep public-private experience, and unique vision for sustainable and inclusive
innovation make him a valuable asset to WISeKey's global mission."
