Binance.US, the US partner of the major cryptocurrency exchange Binance, announced on Thursday that it had hired Jasmine Lee as its new Chief Financial Officer.
According to Reuters, she is a former executive of PayPal Holdings who recently worked as the CFO and Chief Operating Officer of Acorns. Lee served in top executive roles for around eight years at the payments giant PayPal.
“Jasmine is a rare talent who possesses more than 20 years of deep knowledge in both fintech and high-growth startup environments. Her experience at PayPal, a public Fortune 500 company, in particular, will be invaluable as we chart our path to an IPO in the coming years,” Brian Shroder, CEO of Binance.US, highlighted in a statement.
Lee commented on her appointment at Binance.US: “I look forward to building out a best-in-class finance department at Binance.US that lays a strong foundation for continued growth and our path to a future IPO.”According to the Wall Street Journal, Lee replaces interim CFO Eric Segal, who left the company in October.
The company’s former chief executive Brian Brooks resigned three months after taking over the position last year.
