CHICAGO, July 18, 2024 ~ Laconic Infrastructure Partners Inc. (Laconic) has recently announced the addition of Joseph Niciforo to their Board of Directors, effective immediately. With his extensive experience in the financial trading and hedge fund markets, Mr. Niciforo's reputation and global expertise in leading large funds and assets will be a valuable asset to Laconic as they work with financial institutions worldwide to create value in the carbon market.

Currently serving as a founding member of HC Private Investments and a member of the firm's investment committee, Mr. Niciforo brings a wealth of knowledge to Laconic. He previously held the position of Chairman and CEO at HC Technologies from 2007 to 2024, where he oversaw a principal trading firm focused on FX and global futures.

In regards to his new role at Laconic, Mr. Niciforo expressed his excitement about the potential for financial institutions to invest and trade in carbon credits. He noted that while there is great potential in this market, it has been lacking in key areas such as accounting, fraud risk mitigation, and tracking performance and ownership throughout the lifecycle of carbon credits. However, with Laconic's SADAR™ technology and Natural Capital Monetization platform, these issues can now be addressed. Mr. Niciforo also praised Laconic's leadership team for their understanding of financial market requirements.
