Ciphrex Recruits Vallbona as Chief Communications Officer


Ciphrex Corp., a leading software company in the emerging field of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, has recruited Marisa Vallbona as its chief communications officer. Vallbona is president of CIM Incorporated, an award-winning public relations firm she founded 25 years ago, and which she will continue to manage in tandem with her duties as chief communications officer of Ciphrex.

"I've worked with Marisa in a number of business projects in the last several years and I've always been impressed by her creativity, perseverance and integrity. She is an exceptionally talented communications professional and we are absolutely delighted she is joining our executive leadership team," said Enrique Lombrozo, Co-CEO and Chief Operations Officer of Ciphrex.



"This is a thrilling venture working closely with brilliant individuals," said Vallbona. "Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is in its infancy, and to get in on the ground level is like being involved in the beginning of the Internet. Ciphrex's Co-CEO and Chief Technology Officer, Eric Lombrozo, is a genius, and I'd be crazy to pass up a chance to work this closely with him."

Prior to assuming the role as chief communications officer, Vallbona, through her firm, served as PR counsel to Ciphrex.


Vallbona has worked with tech start ups, top businesses, health care providers, retailers, brands, individuals and authors on strategic communications, community relations, new product launches, special events, radio promotions and business strategy.

She has won four Silver Anvil awards from the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and a Silver Anvil Best of Show. San Diego Business Journal named her "Women Who Mean Business" in PR and she's won countless other awards. She is the co-founder of PRConsultants Group, a national network of PR firms. She also serves on the executive committee of the national board of directors of PRSA, and on the board of directors of SDX (formerly the San Diego Ad Club).
