Oct 2017 - Jun 2020
I started when Paxos was Series A. As one of three people on the Securities team, I wore many hats from early on. I worked with customers, engineers and sales to build and launch a settlement pilot for the US equities market. My role was to define the “Minimum Regulatory Product” that maximized learning while delicately balancing clear product definition and control to satisfy SEC stakeholders.
