Software firm Securrency has named Nadine Chakar as CEO, effective from 9 January. She replaces Securrency founder Dan Doney, who will now serve as chief technology officer.
Chakar has more than 30 years of experience in the financial industry, holding a number of senior positions throughout her career. Her departure from State Street was announced in December, where she first served as head of global markets, before becoming executive vice president and head of State Street Digital in 2021.
Prior to this, Chakar spent almost a decade at BNY Mellon, where she led the global asset servicing teams, and was global head of operations and data at Manulift Investment Management.
Commenting on her new role, Chakar says: “As the new CEO, my priority is to accelerate the commercialisation of what is in essence the digital asset intelligence and interoperability foundation for major financial institutions and the global ecosystem. I look forward to working with the team to create the global digital assets marketplaces of the future."
Doney adds: "Nadine shares my passion for innovation, and we are united in our determination to make financial markets more accessible and efficient. She has a razor-sharp view of where reform is needed and how our technology can help. I am excited to work with Nadine as we focus on evolving our solution to bridge traditional and decentralised finance."
