Cryptocurrency asset service provider Zodia Custody appointed Julian Sawyer as new CEO, the company said in a statement Tuesday.
He replaces Maxime de Guillebon, who has been in post since the company was founded in December 2020.
He also co-founded U.K. lender Starling Bank in 2015 and acted as its chief operating officer for four years.
“I am excited to begin working with Zodia Custody,” Sawyer said, and “look forward to taking the business to the next level and scaling Zodia Custody to become the default choice for institutions.”
The custodian sees continued and sustainable long-term interest from institutional investors from the digital assets sector.
Following the collapse of FTX, Zodia announced in December a new service to protect clients’ digital assets in case an exchange becomes insolvent.
