He joins Risk Ledger with more than 15 years of experience across cybersecurity, fintech and healthtech. He began his career at BAE Systems, developing cyber defence products that used behavioural analytics and machine learning to detect advanced persistent threats.
He later held senior roles across several cybersecurity startups before joining Infinity Works, a boutique consultancy, later acquired by Accenture, where he led strategic technology engagements for clients including Santander, Compare the Market, and T. Rowe Price.
Most recently, he served as CTO at X-Lab, a healthcare technology company, where he led the organisation through a period of significant growth, driving it to profitability while building automation systems to reduce human error in laboratory testing.

At Risk Ledger, Keble is responsible for all aspects of technology: from product engineering and technical operations to innovation strategy, and scaling the company’s use of emerging technologies such as AI. Working closely with the senior leadership team, he will help advance Risk Ledger’s mission to enable Defend-as-One, a collaborative approach to supply chain security.

Pennacino brings nearly three decades of experience in Semicon and high-growth technology companies, including senior leadership roles at STMicroelectronics and Motorola Semiconductor, and most recently as CFO at MedAlliance Swiss Medical Technology, a company that was acquired for $1.1 billion under his leadership.
