Altcoin News: Coinbase Has Lost Another Top Manager

April 15, 2019, by Marko Vidrih on ALTCOIN MAGAZINE

Vice president of international cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, Dan Romero, has announced that he will leave the company at the end of April. According to a LinkedIn profile, a top manager has worked there for 5 years — since April 2014.

The reason for leaving Romero is still unknown.

“Staying true to a mission often requires doing hard (or even unpopular) things. But I’ve been lucky to learn first-hand that it’s those hard things that often generate the most value,” he wrote in his blog in Medium.

He further added that he plans to “spend some time trying to figure out what to do next.”

When Romero came to Coinbase, the company employed about 20 people. To date, this figure has grown to more than 700.

While working at Coinbase, Romero was involved in “almost every aspect” of the business, including partnerships with banks and other activities.

Despite the fact that Coinbase is one of the most popular and largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, in recent months, the company has lost a number of top managers.

Two weeks ago, Coinbase Institutional Sales Director Christine Sandler resigned to join Fidelity Investments. Earlier this year, Director of Data Science and risks Soups Ranjan also left the company as a senior manager’s compliance Vaishali Mehta.

In addition, at least nine more senior and middle managers have left the company since October 2018.

Coinbase remains one of the most popular employers in the United States. This year, the crypto exchange outpaced the banking giant JPMorgan in the list of top 50 American employers for 2019 compiled by LinkedIn.
