He previously served as the company’s chief compliance officer between November 2014 and February 2016 before he left for a five-year stint at eBay. He later rejoined Bitstamp as Europe CEO a year ago. “JB was with Bitstamp in its early days, and has admirably led our European business over the past year. We’re pleased to welcome a CEO with such an impressive track record, and very much look forward to the contribution and perspective he will bring to the company in his new role,” Nicolas Huss, Bitstamp’s chairman, said in the statement.

Before entering the crypto industry, Sawyer served as co-founder and chief operating officer of Starling Bank, a British neo bank with 1.7 million customers.The post Bitstamp Hires New CEO After Julian Sawyer’s Short Tenure first appeared on Crypt...
