Blockchain.com has appointed former Microsoft executive Lisa Nelson and former Global X ETFs CEO Luis Berruga to its board of directors.
The appointments add further diversity of background and expertise in scaling technology, traditional finance and digital assets growth companies to Blockchain.com's board.
Nelson and Berruga strengthen the board's expertise in corporate governance, financial oversight, strategic growth and emerging technologies.
Blockchain.com is a global leader in crypto services for retail and institutional users, connecting the world to the future of finance.
The exceptional caliber and strength of our board already stands out in the digital assets industry and reflects the ambition of Blockchain.com.
Leadership backgrounds
Lisa Nelson is a 15-year veteran of Microsoft, where she held executive positions in finance, investor relations, and business development. She co-founded Microsoft's first venture fund, M12, and currently serves on the boards of Banqer Software, Spark New Zealand, and Brooks Running.
Luis Berruga led Global X ETFs from a startup into a leading platform with $85 billion in assets under management across more than 150 ETFs on four continents.
He also serves as an independent director of SOL Strategies, lead independent trustee and audit committee chairman of the Tidal ETF platform, and an independent trustee of KraneShares ETFs.
Strategic focus
The new directors aim to help Blockchain.com connect traditional financial markets with the growing onchain economy.
Digital assets are moving from the margins of finance toward its core, and that shift will reward companies that earn trust at scale.
Blockchain.com has supported over 95 million wallets, 44 million confirmed accounts, and more than $1.1 trillion in crypto transactions since its inception in 2011.
