Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT), a company specializing in AI-driven data monetization, credentialing, and real-world asset tokenization, has appointed Jeffrey Tirman to its board of directors, effective October 12, 2026. Tirman was designated by NYIAX Inc. following its recent acquisition by Datavault AI, and he previously served on the NYIAX board. His appointment brings more than 35 years of international investment management experience to Datavault AI, covering corporate restructuring, capital strategy, acquisitions, public listings, and cross-border transactions.
Tirman currently serves as CEO of Slovenia-based sporting goods manufacturer Elan d.o.o. and is the founder of Abri Capital Ltd., a private family-office investment firm. His background in finance and operations is expected to strengthen Datavault AI's board as the company continues expanding its operations and evaluating opportunities to strengthen its capital structure. The appointment follows the acquisition of NYIAX, which appears to be a strategic move to integrate additional expertise and potentially accelerate growth in the competitive AI and Web 3.0 landscape.
The addition of Tirman matters because it signals Datavault AI's intent to bolster its financial and strategic oversight at a time when the company is scaling its platform. Datavault AI operates through two divisions: Acoustic Sciences and Data Sciences. The Acoustic Sciences division features patented technologies such as WiSA, ADIO, and Sumerian, which focus on spatial and multichannel wireless high-definition sound transmission. The Data Sciences division leverages Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for data perception, valuation, and secure monetization. The company's Information Data Exchange enables Digital Twins and the licensing of name, image, and likeness by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata, fostering responsible AI with integrity. Its technology suite is customizable and offers AI- and machine-learning-based automation, third-party integration, detailed analytics, marketing automation, and advertising monitoring.
With Tirman's experience in corporate restructuring and capital strategy, Datavault AI may be better positioned to navigate the complexities of public markets and pursue growth opportunities. The company serves multiple industries, including sports and entertainment, events and venues, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy. As Datavault AI continues to expand, the board addition could enhance its ability to capitalize on emerging trends in AI and tokenization.
