Head of communications crypto: 22 leads at 21 teams, 3 steps

NAUT tracks 22 head of communications crypto contacts (heads of comms, communications and PR leads, directors and chief communications officers) at 21 live crypto project teams, read from its database on 14 November 2026. To find the comms or PR lead at a crypto company, search the title on NAUT's People tab, open the team's company page, then check the title against an outside bio before you write.

Data note. Every count comes from NAUT's own database, read-only, on 14 November 2026. A title search for head of comms, communications lead, communications manager or director, chief communications officer and PR lead found 35 live contacts at 34 project teams. 2 sit at teams whose own NAUT description names no crypto product (1 is filed as a stock investment platform, 1 as health technology and investment consulting), so they stay out. 5 sit at teams with no description on NAUT, so their scope cannot be read, and they stay out. 6 more have no public person page on NAUT yet, so a reader has no page to open. That leaves 22 contacts at 21 teams. 6 of the 22 titles were put to outside sources: 1 was confirmed by quote (Ben Schiller at Miden) and 5 were not found on the pages searched. The other 16 were never read outside NAUT, so every title except Ben Schiller's is NAUT's record.

How does a head of communications crypto search work in 3 steps?

Search the title, open the team, then check the title. The comms lead owns press, announcements and the team's public story, so this is the seat to reach for a joint announcement, a media partnership, an event slot or a funding news push.

Step 1: search the title on the People tab

The seat goes by many names, so run more than 1 search. Of the 22, 7 say exactly Head of Communications (or Head of Communication), 6 pair communications with marketing, 3 are directors, 2 are chief communications officers, 2 are leads and 2 are heads of communications with a second remit. Read the full title: Megan Mason at Architect_Fi is Head of Administration and Corporate Communications, so she runs more than press.

Step 2: open the company page

The company page shows the team NAUT holds, and each person page shows the title and which channels are on file. Worked example: Miden, described on NAUT as the Edge Blockchain, with 6 contacts on NAUT's record for its team. Its head of communications is Ben Schiller, with LinkedIn and X on file and no Telegram.

Step 3: check the title against an outside bio

A comms title can go stale when people move, so read 1 source outside NAUT before you write. For Ben Schiller, a Proof of Talk speaker page describes him as "Head of Communications and Senior Adviser at Miden", which matches NAUT. The same check on 5 other titles (at AltLayer, Animoca Brands, Bitdeer, Celestia and OKX) found no page that confirmed them, so treat those as NAUT's record and confirm on the person's own LinkedIn or X first.

Which crypto teams hold the most contacts beside their comms lead?

When the comms lead is slow to answer, the rest of the team is the next route in. The chart ranks the 9 teams in this list with 10 or more contacts on NAUT's record for the team.

OKX with 42 and Animoca Brands with 37 hold far more than the rest; the other 12 teams in the list hold 4 to 9 each.

Which channel reaches a crypto PR lead?

LinkedIn leads by a wide margin in NAUT's data: of the 22, 20 have LinkedIn on file, 9 have X, 9 have Telegram and 6 have all 3.

• The 6 with all 3 are the directors at CoinDCX, QRL and Rootstock Infrastructure, plus the comms leads at Superstate, Valour and VeChain. Send 1 note on 1 channel.
• None of the 7 exact Head of Communications contacts has Telegram on file, so LinkedIn is the route in for all 7.
• Ekram Ahmed at Celestia has Telegram and X and no LinkedIn on file.
• Ibrahim El-Mouelhy at Animoca Brands has no channel on file, so go through the 37 contacts on NAUT's record for the team.

What this tells a BD team, a founder or an investor

• A BD lead pitching a joint announcement should bring the draft: a crypto communications director judges an ask by the story it gives the team, so send the headline and the date.
• A founder raising can use the same list to line up co-announcements with partners such as Trust Wallet or OKX, where the comms lead decides what goes out.
• An investor checking a portfolio team can see in 1 search whether it has a web3 head of comms at all.
