The CEO of Komainu has resigned “immediately” from his post as executive.
A spokesperson for Nomura-backed crypto custody firm Komainu announced on Thursday that CEO Nicolas Bertrand has resigned “immediately.”
The previously mentioned development happens less than a weekend after the organization published its 2024 Custody Outlook report, wherein it outlined a promising trajectory and an ambitious strategy to introduce a T+4-hour multi-custodian off-exchange settlement via Copper’s ClearLoop.
Financial News reported on February 15 that Nicolas Bertrand, citing “personal circumstances,” has resigned as the chief executive officer of Komainu. Robert Johnson, the company’s current chief technology officer (CTO), has assumed the role of interim CEO.
Johnson stated, “Bertrand will be present for a few months in whatever capacity we require him to serve, but I will assume responsibility for day-to-day operations at Komainu immediately.”
Prior to his September 2022 arrival at Komainu, Bertrand oversaw derivatives and commodities at Borsa Italiana and was previously in charge of equities and derivatives at the London Stock Exchange Group.
As a result of the company’s accelerated global expansion endeavors, Bertrand has departed from Komainu. The organization obtained an operating license from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) and FCA authorization to offer digital asset custody and collateral management services in the United Kingdom during his tenure as CEO.
