Anna Redmond

As the founder of Braav, I am on a mission to transform the private security industry with technology.

We’ve launched the first tech-centric Chief Security Officer Solution – perfect for any business that wants to up-level their safety and security practices through elite security talent. Our CSO network includes Chiefs of Police, Special Agents in Charge, Directors of Public Safety — all of whom are ready and available to parachute in and help you implement small safety changes that yield out-sized results.

We supplement this with a guard management platform that delivers transparency and visibility for companies that hire security. For guards, we provide clear success metrics and enable them to schedule security work that fits their life.

I have over 15 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and angel investing, with a focus on seed-stage startups and human-centric innovation. I co-founded Hippo Reads, a platform where public intellectuals and the brightest minds can share their thoughts and insights. I also wrote about our journey founding Hippo for Fast Company. I have an AB/AM in Economics and IT Policy, and History of Science from Harvard, and I speak English, Russian, and French. I am passionate about creating positive social impact through entrepreneurship and technology.
