HaystackID Taps Jeff Shapiro to Lead European Growth

HaystackID has appointed Jeff Shapiro as Managing Director for Europe, marking a strategic expansion of leadership in the UK and continental markets.

The Chicago-based e-discovery and legal technology provider announced the hire on February 10, 2026. Shapiro will operate from London and drive business development across European markets. The appointment follows HaystackID's recent launch of a London office and expansion of its Global Advisory team with forensics analyst Matthew Hamilton, who joined after 12 years with the London Metropolitan Police.

European legal markets continue to set global standards for data privacy regulation and e-discovery technology adoption. HaystackID's investment in regional leadership signals its commitment to serving clients navigating complex regulatory frameworks, including GDPR compliance, cross-border investigations, and AI governance requirements.

The move positions the company to deliver localized expertise while leveraging its global technology platform across jurisdictions.

Shapiro's Background

Shapiro brings multijurisdictional expertise spanning e-discovery, information governance, and cyber response. He holds a law degree from Syracuse University College of Law.
