Zug, Switzerland, — Concordium, a science-based proof-of-stake blockchain and research foundation, has announced the appointment of Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki as its new Chief Executive Officer. This strategic decision underscores Concordium’s commitment to advancing business opportunities in the digital identity arena and enhancing global digital security through its protocol-level ID layer. Bohrer-Bilowitzki, an acclaimed leader in digital assets, investments, and data security technology, will assume his new role on September 1, 2024. Lars Seier Christensen, who temporarily managed additional operational duties, will continue his role as Chairman of the Board. “We are thrilled to announce Boris as the new CEO,” said Seier Christensen. “After a rigorous, months-long search, Boris established himself as the perfect candidate. His expertise in digital asset infrastructure, commitment to data privacy, and previous collaboration with Concordium will ensure a seamless transition.” Bohrer-Bilowitzki brings nearly two decades of experience in leading international teams, working with hedge funds and trading firms, and driving revenue growth. Prior to joining Concordium, he was the Founding Partner and Chief Commercial Officer at Copper, a premier digital asset custodian offering custody, settlement, and prime services for institutional investors. Bohrer-Bilowitzki’s extensive industry insights and relationships, both on the buy and sell side, position him uniquely to drive Concordium’s strategic vision. He firmly believes that identity, KYC, and regulatory compliant blockchains will propel the global adoption of DLT technology. He anticipates significant growth in enterprise-focused use cases in the coming years, while also emphasizing the need for strategic direction that includes more crypto-native applications. “His appointment is not just a leadership change, but a strategic move to strengthen our commitment to the full spectrum of blockchain and crypto use cases. His past collaboration with Concordium through Copper and his deep understanding of our core values will ensure a smooth transition and ongoing success,” added Seier Christensen. Bohrer-Bilowitzki expressed his enthusiasm for the role, stating, “I’m honored to be chosen for such an important role with Concordium, an organization I’ve admired for several years. Working with Lars has given me a deep respect for Concordium’s core values, which I intend to uphold as we enter this new chapter.” His leadership comes at a crucial time when digital identity protection is a growing concern globally. Initiatives like eIDAS in Europe and myGovID in Australia highlight critical public safety and privacy issues that must be addressed with the support of the private sector. “Data privacy is one of the biggest concerns for the next generation, and Concordium will continue to develop, implement, and secure new technologies that ensure the digital safety of global citizens,” Bohrer-Bilowitzki continued. “The days of the crypto wild west are over, and we are ready to embrace regulatory challenges with class-leading identity verification solutions.” Before joining Copper, Bohrer-Bilowitzki was the Director of Business Development at Ansarada, an AI-powered SaaS platform managing critical information related to corporate deals, risk management, compliance, and board governance.
