Head of operations for Binance Europe, Mariana Gospodinova, has left the crypto exchange. According to an announcement on Wednesday, Gospodinova has joined the Crypto.com exchange as a general manager for Europe.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Gospodinova joined Binance in August 2018. Before working with Binance, she held leadership roles in the payment industry with European companies including Skrill and SysPay. Her focus was on building up payment platforms in line with regulatory and card scheme requirements.

The co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, Kris Marszalek, said his firm is beginning to scale its European business to drive the mass adoption of crypto.

Crypto.com was founded in 2016 on a simple belief that it’s a basic human right for everyone to control their funds, identity, and data. It currently has over 1 million users on its platform and provides a powerful alternative to traditional financial services.

Gospodinova said she is looking forward to utilizing her experience to contribute to the growth of Crypto.com, as the company expands rapidly in Europe across different product lines. With its focus on security and compliance, Gospodinova believes the firm has built a great reputation with customers, regulators and industry partners.

As it stands now, it is not clear whether Binance has found a replacement for Gospodinova or not.
