Ubirch introduces advisory board

The newly founded committee will advise the Cologne-based security start-up. Ubirch has been able to attract two respected IT experts.

The Cologne-based start-up Ubirch is founding an advisory board. The board is to take on an advisory and representative role and drive forward the company's networking. Urmi Prasad Richardson and Birte Sewing will sit on Ubirch's advisory board. Richardson is President of the US technology company Thermo Fisher Scientific and is responsible for the Europe, Africa and Middle East region. Until recently, Sewing was COO at company builder Finleaps (Startbase reported). Previously, she also worked at McKinsey, Deutsche Bank and ERGO.

Ubirch is a security start-up that was involved in the development of the digital vaccination certificate, among other things (Startbase reported). The start-up aims to secure Internet-of-Things applications, for example to transmit verified measurement data. In addition to the vaccination certificate, Ubirch has also secured a SIM card with its blockchain-based technology. "We are extremely proud to have such high-caliber experts supporting us with their experience, expertise and valuable network by joining our advisory board," says Stephan Noller, CEO and co-founder of Ubirch. "Both women are 'fast and out of the box thinkers'. Their expertise will enrich our work enormously and help to close hidden trust gaps in digital business models. The Advisory Board members will help us to find the trust vacuum relevant to our business model in the respective market segments and address it in the right way."

Advisory Board member Urmi Prasad Richardson comments on the establishment of the board: "Ubirch is a fearless pioneer in cybersecurity. The company's solution strikes the perfect balance between transparency and discretion in the digital world - a critical issue in the evolution of healthcare management. It is a pleasure and a real concern for me to be able to support Ubirch on its path to international success."

Birte Sewing says: "Our economy needs a secure digital infrastructure. Hacker attacks and data leaks are major and very real risks for companies, regardless of their sector: whether energy supply, banking, healthcare or insurance - the list of industries affected by cybercrime is long. Due to this worrying global development, promising solutions such as Ubirch's must finally pick up speed and be deployed internationally without delay."
