I joined Binance in 2023 as its Global Chief Compliance Officer. Before Binance, I worked at Gemini, first as CCO and then as Chief Operating Officer. I also served as President and CEO of the Gemini Trust Company, LLC, a New York trust company regulated by the the New York State Department of Financial Services. Before starting in crypto, I was a Managing Director and the Global Head of Financial Crimes at Morgan Stanley, where I had legal and compliance responsibility for the Firm’s Anti-Money Laundering, Sanctions, Anti-Boycott, Anti-Corruption and Government and Political Activities programs. Earlier in my career I was the Division Counsel for the United States Drug Enforcement Administration’s New York Division. Prior to my stint with DEA I was an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York where I held several supervisory posts including Special Coordinator for Crimes against Children and Deputy Chief of the Narcotics Section.

Pioneering leader in cryptocurrency sanctions with over 16 years of experience developing policy, building compliance programs, and spearheading complex financial investigations. Unique 360 degree view of sanctions compliance through experience at a large global crypto exchange (Kraken), blockchain analytics firm (Chainalysis), and the U.S. Government (OFAC, FinCEN, and DEA). Passion and strengths include initiation and successful execution of evolving and unprecedented projects. I am proud of the work and outcomes I’ve accomplish and feel that it has given me a unique 360° view of cryptocurrency sanctions compliance. I’ve had the privilege to work with talented and dedicated people throughout my career on some of the most challenging and rewarding cryptocurrency related investigations, policies, and procedures. EXPERIENCE ➡ DEA: I was first introduced to crypto investigations at DEA, tracing opioid darknet market vendors through their blockchain movements. ➡ OFAC: I then pivoted to OFAC where I added the first digital currency address identifier to the SDN List in 2018. This will always be one of my favorite jobs - those of us working crypto at that time had to think through so many new and complex policies - it was never a dull moment. ➡ CHAINALYSIS: I was so impressed and intrigued with crypto tracing investigations that I joined Chainalysis and worked with some of the most talented and passionate people in this space. ➡ FINCEN: I was pulled back to the government to work on Special Measures at FinCEN. I was able to work on some incredibly important data collection, analysis, and investigations applying Special Measures authorities. ➡ KRAKEN: I am currently interpreting and operationalizing regulations for a large global cryptocurrency exchange and managing an incredibly talented group of investigators who are dedicated to sanction compliance.
