Komainu has appointed Pete Stephens as chief technology officer to expand the digital asset custodian’s technology capabilities.
In his new role, Stephens will be responsible for improving Komainu’s existing technology offerings and expanding the company’s portfolio of custody services.
Stephens has extensive experience in the global financial services industry, and particularly in the institutional finance technology space, having previously served as head of technology for Switzerland’s SIX Digital Exchange.
Commenting on the appointment, Henson Orser, president of Komainu, says: “In order to keep up with client demand and the growing digital asset ecosystem, Komainu has made a commitment to building a strong and experienced C-suite.
“Only a few months after naming Matthew Chamberlin as CEO, we have made another significant hire in Pete Stephens, and his track record in financial services technology make him a great addition to the team.”
Stephens adds: “Komainu’s custody solutions meet the security, transparency, and reporting standards set in place by financial institutions and I am excited to be a part of what the team is building.
“I am looking forward to working closely with the team to expand Komainu’s industry-leading offering, and further bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets.”
