Talos, a technology infrastructure provider that supports the institutional trading of digital assets, has hired Alfonse Mandese as head of sales and business development.
Mandese will be responsible for executing Talos’ market strategy, building partnerships and driving future revenue growth.
According to Talos, Mandese’s hire comes at a time of tremendous growth for the Talos platform, which has been live since early 2019 and was announced last autumn.
Prior to joining Talos, Mandese led sales and business development in the Americas for Ledger Enterprise Solutions where he focused on the rollout of the company’s enterprise custody technology product, Ledger Vault.
Mandese also spent seven years in the traditional capital markets space. He formerly held positions across institutional sales and trading at Citigroup in both New York and Boston.
After Citi, he became a regional head of account management and business development at BCA Research.
Talos co-founder and CEO Anton Katz says: “Mandese’s portfolio of experience has the ideal combination of traditional capital markets and institutional crypto, which will be crucial to our ongoing effort to scale our business. We could not be more excited to have him as part of our team, and look forward to setting the bar even higher in 2021.”
Mandese comments: “Talos’ recent success is nothing short of inspiring and I am looking forward to contributing to the company’s continued expansion. Anton Katz, Ethan Feldman and the Talos team have built an offering unlike anything this industry has seen before. Talos is truly pioneering the institutional crypto space, and I’m eager to get started.”
