After raising CHF 6.8 million to further develop its SCION-based internet communication solutions, Anapaya is set to expand internationally. With the backing of industry leaders and notable private equity investors, Anapaya will challenge the way organisations connect for a safer, faster, and more resilient online experience.

Anapaya, the commercial provider of SCION technology, has strengthened its Board of Directors. Andreas Meyer, Olaf Swantee and Gonpo Tsering have joined David Basin, Peter Müller, Adrian Perrig, and Pascal Rialland to combine their skills in addressing fundamental challenges of one of the most important infrastructure services of the modern world today. Anapaya's solution is upgrading the user experience of internet services with controllable connectivity around the world. It provides the highest resilience, security, and speed on end-to-end connections across the internet.

He has acted as the managing director for SFR-Altice and was the CEO of Virgin Mobile France, SAP France & Maghreb and Covage. Pascal has worked with well-known visionaries such as Sir Richard Branson, Sir Charles Dunstone, and Patrick Drahi. Having recently been elected again as Chairman of the Board, Pascal brings his leadership to Anapaya in identifying opportunities and guiding the company forward towards achieving its ambitious growth objectives.

Andreas' background and understanding of the inner workings of critical infrastructures throughout Europe offer unique insights into future opportunities for the company. His experience has highlighted areas where SCION could perform an essential role to ensure public assets remain operational and secure from cyber attacks. He will further guide Anapaya's impact on critical infrastructure projects where SCION can transform their approach to connectivity.
