Introduction

SecureSafe is excited to announce that Simon Kaufmann has joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Simon takes on responsibility for aligning sales, marketing, and customer success as SecureSafe enters its next phase of growth — bringing a track record in sales leadership and business development in the Swiss and international market.

Key Takeaways

  • Simon Kaufmann joins SecureSafe as Chief Revenue Officer, effective September 1, 2026.
  • He joins the Management Team and reports directly to CEO Andreas Lutz.
  • He joins from WealthArc, where he held the role of Head of Sales Switzerland, a data infrastructure provider for wealth managers and financial institutions.
  • As CRO, Simon will lead SecureSafe's revenue strategy; uniting sales, account management, marketing, and customer success to strengthen client relationships, open new markets and accelerating commercial momentum for SecureSafe.

Simon joins SecureSafe from WealthArc, where he served as Head of Sales Switzerland and helped drive the company's growth in data infrastructure and client relationships across the wealth management industry — experience that translates directly into how SecureSafe scales trust-driven, security-first products for its customers. Based in Zurich, Simon brings a strong background in sales leadership, business development, and client success, along more than 25 years experience within the financial and fintech industry. He takes up his new role at SecureSafe effective September 1, 2026.

"Simon brings the market understanding, network and commercial experience we need for this next phase of SecureSafe's growth. He has spent his career on the vendor side of the exact institutions we serve, corporates, banks and wealth managers, and that depth of knowledge is difficult to find. He will help us deepen relationships with existing clients, open new doors in banking, insurance and the public sector, and bring renewed momentum to our commercial organization," said Andreas Lutz, CEO of DSwiss AG.

Kaufmann's appointment comes as SecureSafe continues to strenghtening its position within the enterprise and regulated-sector, including banks, insurers and public administration bodies operating under strict data protection and compliance requirements. His track record is built almost entirely within that world, giving him existing relationships and a working understanding of how these institutions buy, evaluate vendors and manage risk. That combination of network and market fluency is intended to support SecureSafe's shift toward a even stronger commercial position with regulated clients, built on its Swiss-based, zero-knowledge architecture.

Conclusion

The appointment strengthens the Management Team as SecureSafe enters its next phase of commercial growth. With Kaufmann leading revenue strategy alongside CEO Andreas Lutz, SecureSafe aims to build on its existing client base while extending its reach among banks, insurers and other organizations that depend on secure, Swiss-based infrastructure for sensitive data.
