  • With a track record of building and leading global teams and executing growth and adoption strategies for Cardano Foundation and UBS, Hinrich is poised to scale up Partisia Blockchain as a premier layer 1 and layer 2 blockchain.

ZUG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#blockchain--Partisia Blockchain Foundation, an independent non-profit foundation with the sole purpose of supporting Partisia Blockchain, the world’s most advanced internet-privacy infrastructure, announces the appointment of Hinrich Pfeifer to the position of Chief Operations Officer. Hinrich 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 problems, such as self-sovereign digital identity, trade finance gaps, humanitarian monetary aid, or fight against cybercrime or counterfeiting.



Hinrich joins the Partisia Blockchain Foundation, bringing his vast experience 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 global team of the foundation, oversaw the development of the protocol, and drove the adoption of the blockchain.

In the newly-created role as Chief Operating Officer at Partisia Blockchain Foundation, Hinrich, based in Zug, Switzerland, will oversee Partisia Blockchain’s operations and long-term vision and strategy. He will be responsible for ensuring that the foundation’s operations are run smoothly, built for continued growth, deliver best-in-class developer and user support and ensure strict adherence to Switzerland’s financial regulations.

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.”

Hinrich Pfeifer, Chief Operations Officer, commented, “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.”
