Barry Silbert, founder of Grayscale Investments, has resumed his role as board chairman in a strategic MOVE signaling the digital asset manager's preparation for its next growth phase. His return coincides with the appointment of four new executives to the firm's C-suite.

Diana Zhang joins as chief operating officer, Ramona Boston as chief marketing officer, Maxwell Rosenthal as chief human resources officer, and Andrea Williams as chief communications officer. The quartet will report to CEO Peter Mintzberg, who emphasized the team's blend of traditional finance expertise and digital asset innovation.
