Heyn, the current CCO and Head of Capital
Markets, is succeeding Jim Preissler.
Trade.io, a blockchain-powered
financial institution , announced its Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) transition plan
this Friday. According to the article
posted on Medium by the firm, William
Heyn has been appointed as the new
CEO.
Heyn, who is the current Chief
Compliance Officer and Head of Capital
Markets, is replacing the current CEO of
Trade.io – Jim Preissler. Following the
succession of Heyn, Preissler will remain
on the company’s Board of Directors.
Commenting on the
appointment, Roy
Gutshall, current board
member & COO said: “Bill
is an exceptional leader
and is well respected
within trade.io and by
our numerous vendors that have dealt
with him in the blockchain industry.
“He’s passionate about the mission of
trade.io to become a top crypto
exchange, and as head of compliance,
he’s proven to be an asset when dealing
within the ever changing crypto
regulatory landscape.”
Speaking on his departure,
Preissler added: “I’m
looking forward to
remaining actively engaged
with the trade.io team and
assisting them with
expanding their regulatory footprint and
establishing strategic partnerships.“I’ve
worked alongside Bill for many years, so
bringing him up to speed on my roles
and responsibilities should be relatively
seamless. I look forward to working
alongside him during the transition
period.”
Heyn to build on Preissler foundation at
trade.io
Heyn has been a part of the team since it
opened its door last year. During his
time with the blockchain-powered firm,
he has played a key role in overseeing
the corporate setup of the company’s
global offices. He has also advised the
company on all of its compliance
matters.
Prior to working with the company,
Heyn was employed at Wall Street
investment banks Merrill Lynch, Morgan
Stanley and JP Morgan. The experience
he gained whilst working at these
financial institutions also allowed him to
contribute to trade.io’s consulting
segment.
“It’s no secret that the
crypto space has
undergone some
turbulence since the
beginning of this year, however, I firmly
believe we’re well
positioned to close out Q4 and start 2019
with some major initiatives we’re
developing. We will continue to build on
the trade.io name and expand upon the
foundation that Jim has established,”
Heyn commented.
