Grayscale Investments just brought back founder Barry Silbert as board chairman and rolled out four new senior hires, fresh off a confidential IPO filing last month, The Block reports.
What’s the Scoop?
- Silbert is Back: Barry Silbert is back in the chair seat, taking over from Mark Shifke, who stays on the board. Silbert had stepped down in late 2023 as scrutiny around Grayscale’s parent company, DCG, ramped up.
- New Faces Join In: The company added Diana Zhang (COO), Ramona Boston (CMO), Andrea Williams (Chief Comms), and Maxwell Rosenthal (HR chief) to its senior team. All now report to CEO Peter Mintzberg.
- Big-League Backgrounds: These execs are coming in from some heavy-hitter firms like Bridgewater, Apollo, Goldman Sachs, and Citadel.
- IPO in Motion: Grayscale's leadership refresh comes right on the heels of its IPO plans and ongoing efforts to get GBTC turned into a spot
Bitcoin ETF.
- Managing Billions: Grayscale now offers more than 30 crypto products and manages over $35 billion in assets.
