Cryptoasset insurance company Evertas appoints head of intelligence
Evertas, a cryptoasset insurance company based in Chicago, Illinois, has appointed its first Head of Intelligence and Investigations to lead a team focused on cryptoasset-related risk.
Robert Chamberlain, who is taking on the new role, will be directing interdisciplinary intelligence employees offering intelligence and investigations solutions to clients in public and private sectors, who all have significant exposure to crypto-asset risks.

“He has significant leadership and engagement experience in emerging and post-conflict markets and has worked across industry sectors in both the public and private sectors by helping clients address the myriad of risks associated with entering and operating in new frontier markets.”
Evertas focuses exclusively on cryptoassets, and the company noted that the new hire’s skills are a good match with the emerging risk and insurance markets.
Chamberlain added: “I’m really excited to be joining such a talented and innovative team at Evertas, and at such a crucial point in the evolution of digital asset technologies and developing regulatory frameworks.”
