Instant cryptocurrency exchange platform Changelly has today officially announced that Konstantin Gladych steps down as the company’s Chief Executive Officer with Ilya Bere succeeding him in this role.

It’s official! We are pleased to announce Changelly’s new CEO – Ilya Bere!

According to the announcement, Ilya Bere, the former Chief Operating Officer of the company and “a seasoned leader with a proven record of accelerating the companies’ revenues and innovation”, joined Changelly in July 2017.

“Bere’s roots in digital and information technology go much deeper than his time at Changelly, however. After obtaining the Computer Science degree, Ilya spent over ten years working in Business Development and Operational Management in the days of rapid growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) projects. During his tenure as Changelly’s COO, Ilya made a significant contribution to navigating Changelly through the turbulent times of the rise and fall of the crypto market,” says the blog post.

The Changelly team believes that the appointment of Ilya Bere as the CEO fully reflects the company’s readiness for continuous expansion while maintaining the leading positions on the market.

“There is an enormous opportunity for Changelly that lies ahead, and there could be no better fit than Ilya to ensure the rapid and sustainable growth of the company’s infrastructure. We sincerely appreciate the contribution of Konstantin Gladych, the former CEO, for laying the foundation for the bigger future and wish him success in his new ventures,” says the announcement. “The pace of change in today’s cryptocurrency market is exceptional. I am pledged to provide that Changelly not only stays at the leading position of the industry but also continues to innovate and deliver the very best quality products and service to our customers as we have always done,” added Ilya Bere.
