Entrust has officially announced on LinkedIn the transition of Tony Ball from incoming Chief Executive Officer to the official CEO role.

Ball brings decades of tech and smart card industry experience to his new leadership position at Entrust.

His extensive background includes several senior roles at Gemalto between 2004 and 2007, where he served as Managing Director for the UK and Scandinavia, Vice President for Western Europe, and eventually Senior Vice President for Northern Europe.

Prior to that, he spent several years in leadership at Schlumberger Technologies. During that time, he held positions such as Director of Manufacturing and Vice President and General Manager for the EMEA region.

In his new role, Ball plans to focus on fortifying digital trust across all platforms.

“In a world without a clear perimeter, identity is the common thread behind every trusted interaction,” Ball stated.

He emphasised that his upcoming chapter at Entrust will centre on helping organisations secure the entire identity lifecycle to better protect their people, devices, and data.

Concluding his announcement, Ball expressed his gratitude to the company’s teams, customers, and partners, reaffirming that Entrust’s primary mission remains focused on securing a world in motion.
