The 25-year veteran is tasked to lead the company’s operations and manage its subscription-based end-to-end mobile encrypted calling and text messaging offer called TrustCall Global Service, KoolSpan said Monday.

Prior to KoolSpan, Holdren held executive-level and product management positions including as CEO for the startup companies OGI, Twin-Soft and Olympus Group and as the executive VPÂ of collaboration security products at Fixmo.
She has received awards such as George Mason University’s Alumnus of the Year and the Outstanding Engineering Entrepreneurial award from the university’s school of engineering.
