Sekur Private Data, a Swiss-based cybersecurity and private communications platform, is expanding into Africa with the appointment of Christophe Kabeya as director of government and corporate sales for Central and Southern Africa, focusing on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Angola.
The company said Kabeya is a seasoned finance professional with over 25 years of experience in capital markets, private equity, treasury management, and investor relations and currently serving as a senior associate at Westmount Capital Sárl, based in Geneva, Switzerland.
The company went on to say his experience in banking and government projects, and his connections in Southern and Central Africa will greatly benefit Sekur and facilitate local contracts and partnerships both in Angola and the DRC.
Already, government level discussions have been established, and the company expects full operations to start by the end of September 2025, said Sekur in a statement.
The company said it expects to generate substantial revenues in the coming 18 months in the region, through the sale of its corporate and premium Sekur bundled solutions and distribution through telecom operators in both countries, covering a total population of over 150 million people.
Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur, said: “Mr. Kabeya has extensive experience in financial transactions and in project management in both Angola and the DRC. We have already taken steps and engaged in discussions with government officials and are preparing a sales push, starting September for both government and corporate sectors.
“Lately, we are seeing real interest in our premium and corporate plans for our privacy communications solutions, as big tech providers are failing daily to protect businesses and governments from cyber-attacks and cyber thefts. We look forward to becoming the leading provider for private and secure communications in the African continent."
