Datavault AI Appoints U.S. Navy Veteran Pete Scobell as Vice President, Global Security

BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT), leading the way in AI data experience, valuation, and monetization, today announced the appointment of Pete Scobell as Vice President, Global Security. A decorated U.S. Navy SEAL veteran, Scobell will oversee Datavault AI’s global security operations, risk management, and the execution of real-world asset logistics activity across all regions.

Scobell’s appointment comes as Datavault AI continues to advance its Anti-Stolen Valor initiative, first announced earlier this year, honoring military service, integrity, and accountability through a values-driven, data-backed ecosystem. The program reinforces Datavault’s mission to merge measurable value creation with national service principles and operational excellence.

“Pete’s leadership embodies the discipline, trust, and precision that define the Datavault brand,” said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. “As our real-world asset operations — particularly with the launch of our International Elements Exchange — continue to expand globally, Pete’s experience in mission execution and protective strategy ensures the same level of rigor and reliability that clients expect from world-class security organizations.”

With an extensive background in mission-critical operations, logistics execution, and leadership under pressure, Scobell brings the same focus and decisiveness to Datavault AI’s expanding portfolio that guided his service as a U.S. Navy SEAL.

“True security is about precision in execution and strength in culture,” said Pete Scobell. “I’m honored to join Datavault AI’s mission to protect and move value securely and responsibly on a global scale — because real protection isn’t just physical, it’s moral. It’s about defending what’s genuine, earned, and right. I couldn’t be more excited to work alongside Datavault’s trailblazing leadership team, whose vision for integrity and innovation is setting a new global standard for accountability and trust.”
