Since 2023, Roman Vinfield has led BrainChain.AI as Chief Executive Officer. The company applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to supply chain management and logistics. Its stated goals are to reduce supply chain disruption, increase efficiency, and help companies deliver commodities to global brands and governments. The role extends the focus on AI and machine learning that runs through his earlier work in lending and sales, now applied to the movement of goods.
Roman Vintfeld also shares commentary on these subjects through his X, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Medium profiles. His posts have covered AI in advanced manufacturing, automation in logistics, supply chain resilience and application uptime, digital transformation, and leadership topics such as balancing compassion with accountability on a team. He was interviewed for Authority Magazine’s series on creating a culture of courage, which examined how authenticity in the workplace benefits both people and profits.
Outside his business roles, Roman Vinfield has directed his professional experience toward humanitarian work. He co-founded Worldwide Friends, and with his wife, Danielle Vintfeld, he co-founded Ukraine Friends, a humanitarian mission that operates under the Worldwide Friends 501(c)(3). The mission brings several organizations together to provide aid and equipment delivery, evacuation services, and ambulance support to the people of Ukraine in response to Russian aggression.
According to the organization, the Ukraine Friends mission has delivered more than 30,000 individual first aid kits, more than 50,000 wound kits, more than 10,000 children’s travel and hygiene kits, 1,200 train kits, more than 60 mobile surgery kits, and 23 ambulances. It has also housed more than 10,000 refugees. These efforts have supported the evacuation of more than 30,000 people since the war began.
In January 2023, Roman Vintfeld took part in a roundtable discussion in Davos, Switzerland, on support for Ukraine during the Russian invasion. WeShield helped lead the session. In his remarks, he spoke about the connection between Ukraine’s economic recovery and the outcome of the war, and about the global effects of disruption to Ukraine’s exports. He also noted the organization’s partnership with the mayor of Kyiv and the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America to donate medical supplies.
Worldwide Friends has also extended its work to Israel. In its first two weeks, the organization’s Israel Friends initiative raised $6.4 million for the Israeli people and provided 240,000 pounds of aid, including more than 10,000 bulletproof kits.
Roman Vinfield studied at Baruch College of the City University of New York, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business.
As a leader, Roman Vintfeld holds that anyone can make a difference by becoming involved with something they care about. He looks for and develops team members who work in that way, and he gives them the support they need to become autonomous as quickly as possible. That approach informs both his executive roles and his humanitarian work, which have centered on helping others and helping people reach their full professional potential.
