Partisia Blockchain Foundation appointed Hinrich Pfeifer to the role of Chief Operations Officer.
Pfeifer will work alongside co-founders, Kurt Nielsen, Peter Frandsen and Brian Gallagher, to scale the foundation and support the blockchain expansion and on-chain solutions to real-world matters, such as self-sovereign digital identity, trade finance gaps, humanitarian monetary aid, or the fight against cybercrime or counterfeiting.
Partisia Blockchain Foundation is an independent non-profit foundation that aims to support Partisia Blockchain, an internet-privacy infrastructure.
"Partisia Blockchain's unique component of multi-party computation brings the critical but missing element of privacy to blockchain. Working in the banking and blockchain industry for more than a decade, I have seen the power of the technology and how it will revolutionize the financial industry. I am committed to making the Partisia Blockchain Foundation a strong, resilient and globally diverse team to deliver the promises that multi-party computation offers to both the financial sector, and to all industries," Pfeifer said.
Pfeifer's experience includes serving as general secretary of the Cardano Foundation and custodian of the world's fastest-growing top 10 blockchains. During his tenure, he built and led the foundation's global team, oversaw the development of the protocol, and drove the adoption of the blockchain.
Partisia Blockchain Foundation President Kurt Nielsen said: "Hinrich is a rare talent who possesses almost two decades of deep knowledge in both fintech and high growth digital asset environments. His wide range of experience at UBS, coupled with building the Cardano Foundation during a hyper-growth phase, in particular, will be invaluable as we chart our path to becoming a top 5 layer 1 and layer 2 blockchain."
