Ronne Froman-Blue, the retired US Navy Rear Admiral, has joined TradeSun’s Board of Directors to support and steer the company in its mission to fight financial crime in trade.
Ronne’s impressive and decorated career with the Navy spans more than 30 years. She held senior positions, serving as the first female Commander of the US Navy Region Southwest and as Director of Ashore Readiness, which involved leading all Navy stations and bases around the world with a $7 billion budget. She has also been involved with high-level assignments at the Pentagon.
Following her retirement from the Navy, Ronne has held high-profile positions in San Diego, including the first Chief Operating Officer for the city; Chief of Business Operations for the San Diego Unified School District; and CEO of the local unit of the American Red Cross. She also worked at General Atomics, the energy and defense company, as Senior Vice President.
As a Member of the Board, Ronne will steer and support the strategic planning of the company, shaping TradeSun’s future and ensuring its success. She brings vast and unique experience working with the Department of Defense, which will prove important to TradeSun as it works to stamp out crime across trade and help enforce economic sanctions to curb warfare.
Ronne Froman-Blue said: “I am delighted to be joining the TradeSun Board to support Nigel and his team in achieving their goals. I have been impressed with TradeSun’s AI technology and how it is reducing financial crime in trade by taking a holistic approach. Malign actors are present in many sectors and walks of life, and technology is crucial in curbing illegal activities.”
Nigel Hook, TradeSun CEO, said: “We are honored that Ronne is joining the Board. She brings impeccable leadership and a wealth of experience in strategy, with decades in the US Navy overseeing ships and maritime operations, as well as stopping bad actors. As TradeSun scales, Ronne will play an important part in rolling out the vision of using advanced technology to eliminate financial crime across trade, from maritime sanctions breaches to trade-based money laundering.”
