Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT), an artificial intelligence platform company specializing in data monetization, credentialing and real-world asset tokenization, has appointed Jeffrey Tirman to its board of directors, effective Oct. 12, 2026. The appointment follows Datavault AI's recent acquisition of NYIAX Inc., which designated Tirman to the board. Tirman previously served on the NYIAX board, giving him direct familiarity with the acquired business and its strategic priorities.
Tirman brings more than 35 years of international investment management experience, including corporate restructuring, capital strategy, acquisitions, public listings and cross-border transactions. He currently serves as CEO of Elan d.o.o., a Slovenia-based sporting goods manufacturer, and is the founder of Abri Capital Ltd., a private family-office investment firm. His background combines operational leadership with financial deal-making, a mix that could prove valuable as Datavault AI integrates NYIAX and continues to scale its platform.
The board addition matters because it signals continuity and financial discipline at a critical juncture for Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT). The company said Tirman's appointment adds financial and operational expertise to the board as it expands operations and evaluates opportunities to strengthen its capital structure. For investors, that suggests the company is prioritizing balance-sheet management and strategic oversight while digesting an acquisition. Tirman's experience with public listings and cross-border transactions may also support future financing or partnership moves.
