METACO, a Switzerland-based fintech company that enables financial and non-financial institutions to capitalize on the burgeoning digital asset ecosystem, has appointed Seamus Donoghue as its Chief Growth Officer.
Donoghue was the Vice President (VP) of Strategic Alliances for the fintech company until his appointment.
The METACO executive announced his appointment on Friday in a job update on his LinkedIn account.
Donoghue is also the host of METACO Talks, a series of live interviews set up by METACO to help navigate the complex and burgeoning digital assets market.
Through the series, Donoghue engages entrepreneurs building the next generation of unicorns, venture capital firms, and engineers creating the infrastructure for the digital asset markets.
