SEMPRE Welcomes Ramirez as CIO and CISO
At a glance: SEMPRE appointed Pedro E. Ramirez as Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Ramirez brings more than 25 years of national security and cybersecurity leadership, including senior roles supporting U.S. Strategic Command’s Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) enterprise. He will lead SEMPRE’s cybersecurity strategy, internal IT, and secure infrastructure architecture as the company expands hardened private 5G and edge computing services for defense and critical infrastructure customers.
Security is now the limiting factor for edge compute and private 5G. As defense and critical infrastructure customers deploy AI and mission systems closer to the edge, they need networks that remain secure, resilient, and survivable under real-world threat conditions, not just compliant on paper.

What they’re saying: “SEMPRE is focused on delivering hardened digital infrastructure that meets the highest cyber security standards,” said Rob Spalding, SEMPRE CEO. “Pedro’s experience designing and governing high-assurance systems, directly supports how we help organizations operate faster, smarter, and more consistently across locations and conditions.”
“SEMPRE’s mission is clear and disciplined,” said Pedro E. Ramirez. “The team is building infrastructure that is simple for users, accountable for outcomes, and designed to operate predictably wherever decisions need to be made. That approach is increasingly important as critical systems move closer to operations.”
What’s next: SEMPRE will integrate Ramirez’s leadership across its infrastructure services and operating model as the company expands secure private 5G and edge compute capabilities across defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure markets.
