Biddle, who will be stepping down from the Board.
Speaking about Fray and Finkielsztain’s appointments, Crumb stated:
“Steve has been an invaluable part of the Goldmoney group since he joined just over one year ago. He has quickly shown expertise and leadership in every finance and chain of integrity function, which made this appointment to CFO the logical next step for the Goldmoney Board. We are also proud to welcome Andres to the Board of Directors. Andres has been a valued investor and supporter of the Goldmoney platform and mission since he first backed the Company in the BitGold angel financing round. I would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Leslie for her Board service and advice over the last few years, as she has been a strong supporter of the Company for many years – even before we launched the first BitGold platform.”
The appointment of Fray and Finkielsztain comes just a few months after Goldmoney announced he addition of vaulted Bitcoin and Ethereum as secure and fully-reserved offline investable assets within the Goldmoney Holding.
