Strategic Leadership Changes Accelerate Recoveris’ Evolution Into Tech-Driven Blockchain Intelligence

Key leadership changes with new Head of Product and Head of Investigations, reflecting our evolution from expert-led investigations to investigation workflow solutions and AI-powered blockchain intelligence technology.

As we expand our capabilities from expert-led investigations to investigation workflow solutions, we’re excited to announce key leadership changes that reflect our technical vision for the future of blockchain forensics.

Two black-and-white profile photos show Roman Bieda (Head of Product) and Umberto Buonora (Head of Investigations) with their names and titles. The recoveris logo appears at the bottom left on a tech-themed background.

New Leadership Structure

Roman Bieda moves from Head of Investigations to Head of Product, bringing his deep forensic expertise to drive our technology development.

Umberto Buonora steps up as our new Head of Investigations, continuing to lead our expert-driven recovery operations.

These changes come as we prepare for upcoming strategic partnerships that will accelerate development of advanced investigation workflow platforms. While our human-led investigations currently remain the foundation of our success, this evolution positions us to tackle blockchain forensics at unprecedented scale.

Merging Expertise with Innovation

Roman’s transition demonstrates our commitment to merging investigative expertise with building a comprehensive blockchain intelligence product offering. His years of complex case experience, combined with his work as Product Owner of Coinfirm’s digital asset tracing and fraud investigation tools used by law enforcement and forensic companies across Europe, will ensure our tools solve real-world forensic challenges that manual analysis struggles to address.

Umberto’s promotion reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of forensic excellence as we scale. His 14 years of cybercrime expertise, including developing cryptocurrency seizure methodologies with Europol and the FBI, plus his roles as Virtual Assets Expert for the OSCE and recent work training Italian law enforcement on blockchain forensics, ensures our investigation capabilities remain at the forefront of the industry.

The Future of Blockchain Intelligence

We believe the future of blockchain intelligence lies in combining expert analysis with intelligent systems that can process vast on-chain datasets at the speed modern digital asset crime demands, while maintaining the precision that only comes from deep investigative experience.

These leadership changes position Recoveris to build the investigation workflow solutions that will define next-generation blockchain forensics, ensuring we continue delivering the sophisticated intelligence our clients depend on while scaling our capabilities to meet growing industry demands.
