The Crypto Exchange Kraken Hires an Ex-NBC and Twitter Executive
Crypto exchange Kraken has plucked its latest executive hire from the media sector.
Mike Davidson will join Kraken as its new vice president of design, bringing experience from big name media companies such as Disney and NBC as well as social media giant Twitter.
As the digital coin movement booms and investors big and small ride the wave, institutions have ramped up on recruiting more crypto talent, but much less focus has been paid to design. Davidson’s hire signals that crypto companies aren’t just pulling talent from technology, government and finance, but are also will pay for top designers.
