Sealsq announces Wecan founder Vincent Pignon resumes CEO role

SEALSQ (LAES) announce that, following the June 2025 strategic acquisition of a 28.3% equity stake in Wecan, Wecan’s founder, Vincent Pignon, has resumed his role as CEO to lead the next phase of innovation and growth. RegTech refers to the use of advanced digital technologies, such as AI, machine learning, blockchain, cloud systems, and data analytics, to help organizations comply with regulatory requirements more efficiently and securely. It focuses on automating compliance tasks, improving accuracy, reducing operational and financial risk, and strengthening transparency and data protection. Common applications include identity verification, anti-money laundering controls, transaction monitoring, secure data sharing, audit trail management, and regulatory reporting. RegTech is especially relevant in financial services but increasingly adopted across other regulated sectors. It ultimately transforms compliance from a manual, costly burden into a strategic and scalable advantage. Founded in 2015 in Geneva, Wecan has rapidly established itself as a leading RegTech provider, enabling secure, auditable, and automated compliance workflows for more than one hundred financial institutions including major Swiss banks, independent asset managers, auditors, and outsourced compliance providers.
