New CEO Brenda Boehm to Lead RiPSIM Team

Brenda joins as CEO

I’m excited to be joining RiPSIM as CEO and working with this stellar team of employees, customers, and partners. 

As makers of the world’s first SaaS platform for generating and delivering mobile network authentication credentials on demand, RiPSIM is playing a pivotal role in the digital transformation of mobile connectivity, which every enterprise and service provider is currently navigating. As we all know, telecom infrastructure is becoming more dynamic, network connectivity is now software-defined, and 5G and IoT are reshaping the landscape.

Despite all the progress in wireless networks globally, however, there’s one glaring gap: Mobile device onboarding remains slow, outdated, and inefficient. In my 20 years in the telecom and IT industries, I’ve watched the digital transformation of everything except the crucial last mile of device authentication.

And RiPSIM is providing this critical missing piece.

RiPSIM has modernized device authentication and security provisioning to enable a more seamless and efficient “telecom as a service” experience for carriers and enterprises.

As Alex Doll, co-founder and managing partner of Ten Eleven Ventures and member of the RiPSIM board of directors, has said: “RiPSIM’s eSIM-as-a-Service platform has the potential to redefine digital identity authentication—a critical yet often overlooked element of everyday interactions in the B2B2C landscape.”

By providing a simplified, more efficient process for carriers to customize and provision devices and connectivity for their customers, RiPSIM is helping complete mobile networks’ end-to-end digital infrastructure.

As we look forward, our focus is on harnessing the potential of this inflection point to not only enhance service provider capabilities but also empower enterprises to navigate and succeed in this rapidly evolving digital landscape.

With our eSIM platform, we’re ready to redefine digital identity authentication and open up new opportunities in telecom and cybersecurity.

I am eager to connect with those of you who are as passionate about these possibilities as I am.

Let’s explore how we can collaborate to drive innovation and transform the future of telecommunications together.
