Head of Americas

About Paxos

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like Mastercard, Visa, Robinhood, and PayPal.

About the team

The growth team at Paxos is focused on driving strategic partnerships, accelerating growth initiatives and forging collaborative relationships with key industry players. We’re dedicated to identifying new market opportunities around the world, and implementing innovative solutions to propel Paxos forward in the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape.
